Research Midwife
The Trust is looking to recruit 1.0 WTE research midwife to support the Generation Study - an exciting new programme of research focused on improving how we diagnose and treat genetic conditions by looking at the DNA of newborn babies. The study will investigate the genomes of newborn babies to see if genetic conditions can be found and treated early.
The Generation Study is funded by Genomics England under the umbrella of the UK Government Department of Health and Social Care. Its research looks at new ways genetics can affect our health.
The role is fixed term for 12 months in the first instance, with opportunity for extension subject to performance and activity.
Internal secondments may be considered but applicants MUST SEEK APPROVAL from their substantive clinical line manager FIRST.
Main duties of the job
This role will be central to the day-to-day co-ordination of all participant facing activity and will require the skills and expertise to support the study coordinating team in ensuring the overall delivery of the study.
The successful individual will have excellent communication skills, be highly organised and have the ability to manage and prioritise workload within a diverse, multidisciplinary team. The individual will be experienced in the management of clinical research activities particularly within an intra-partum maternity setting.
This individual will demonstrate a 'can do', facilitative approach to support the ongoing strategy to achieve the Generation Study research ambitions.
