University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
We are seeking a motivated and experienced Senior Clinical Trials Assistant to join the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and Bronchiectasis Research Team within our Clinical Research Facility. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in the delivery of high-quality clinical research studies, supporting both participants and the wider multidisciplinary research team.
The post holder will assist in the delivery of clinical research studies, providing direct patient care alongside essential administrative and organisational support. You will be responsible for organising and managing your own workload, including the day-to-day coordination and implementation of delegated clinical trials, ensuring studies are conducted in line with protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and regulatory requirements.
You will be expected to develop and maintain clinical knowledge and practical skills relevant to the role, enabling you to provide a consistently high standard of care to participants and volunteers taking part in research studies. Working within your scope of competence, you will deliver direct clinical care and undertake a range of clinical tasks and observations. These will include, but are not limited to, venepuncture, manual and electronic blood pressure measurement, recording ECGs, and performing anthropometric measurements such as height and weight.
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills, a patient-centred approach, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. Previous experience in clinical research, respiratory care, or working with CF and/or bronchiectasis patients would be advantageous.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative research aimed at improving outcomes for people living with CF and bronchiectasis, within a supportive and forward-thinking research environment.
