Shortlisting to take place after closing date:  commencing 11.11.24

Interview expected to take place in the week following shortlisting: 27.11.24

Are you a registered nurse who would like to work in a supportive and inclusive research team to develop your research skills, experience and knowledge alongside nationally recognised patient safety researchers?

Would you like to be supported by experienced patient safety research nurses/AHPs to develop your own research skills and knowledge whilst making an impactful difference in patient care through research?

Are you interested in a possible future career in research that could combine your clinical expertise and newly developed research skills?

The YQSR group are seeking and encouraging applications from enthusiastic, organised and motivated nurses who are team players to primarily support the delivery of a multi-centred research study in patient safety research.

Main duties of the job

You will primarily be involved in supporting key study processes within the SaSI-MEDs programme of research, funded by the National Institute for Health Research. This research aims to look at a way of reducing the double-checking of medicines in hospital and to understand the impact this may have for patients, staff and use of resources. You will also have the opportunity to support elements of other research studies within the YQSR research portfolio. You will be part of a team who are supportive and will work together to deliver this programme of work.  There will be opportunities to work with national experts in patient safety research and policy, and to link with other health care professionals working in this field to develop your wider skills.  This is the ideal opportunity for someone who is aspiring to broaden their clinical experience and skills to include research and/or improvement skills. We can offer support and mentorship to achieve these goals as you progress through your research career development journey.
