An opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic motivated Research Governance Practitioner to support and promote research studies
The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust is involved in numerous studies adopted onto the NIHR portfolio as well as studies initiated and conducted by our own staff (investigator led). All studies are coordinated at department level but overseen by the Research and Innovation Office.
The number of studies within the trust is increasing and we need someone who can engage with investigators, offer help, ongoing support, training and education to a number of departments across the organisation. Some departments include Trauma and Orthopedics, Cancer, Ophthalmology, Renal, Emergency Department, ICU & Paediatrics/ Maternity, to name just a few.
The primary duty of the post holder will be to work with the Governance team supporting studies. We are looking for individuals who have experience in a range of areas such as: applying to Regulatory Authorities working within Information/ Research Governance policies and ensuring studies have all relevant approvals.
In addition, you will play a key role in the performance, co-ordination and working alongside clinical teams in the set up of research studies. Attention to detail and the ability to work both as part of a team and autonomously are essential requirements for this role.
