Research Nurse

Description:

The Research Team is a dynamic, supportive, and multidisciplinary group within the wider UHS Research & Development workforce. We work collaboratively with respiratory clinicians, allied health professionals, and external partners to deliver high-quality research across inpatient, outpatient, and community settings.

The broader Trust research teams are involved in both commercial and non-commercial studies, working closely with the NIHR Clinical Research Facility and other specialist research delivery teams. This provides a rich and supportive environment for professional development, learning, and gaining cross-speciality experience in clinical research.

Working for our organisation

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising 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, recognising 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.
