Cardiovascular Research Nurse

Job overview

The team manages the delivery of a wide variety of studies within the Cardiovascular Directorate, coordinating research trials across three acute hospital sites (Hammersmith Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital, and Charing Cross Hospital).

Our research portfolio includes cardiovascular research (cardiology, cardiothoracic, and vascular).

In addition to the recruitment, education, and monitoring of research participants, you will also be required to complete clinical assessments, accurate collection and documentation of research data, and the administration of investigational medicinal products.
• This role has an emphasis on research integration within the clinical setting here at Imperial.
• Research knowledge and clinical cardiovascular experience would be advantageous for the post.
• In return, we can offer you a great opportunity to gain research experience in a number of different specialties in one of the most dynamic academic health science centres in the UK.
• The post offers an ideal opportunity for motivated, proactive, hardworking, and enthusiastic individuals who wish to further develop their careers within clinical research.
• Continued training and education are essential within this role, and we have a strong commitment to the growth and development of the individuals within the team.
