Clinical Research Practitioner

**About the Role**





We require a Clinical Research Practitioner (CRP) to conduct study participant
recruitment and follow up, sample collection and sample processing across our
portfolio of work in Prof. Jack Satsangi’s Gastroenterology studies, looking
at achieving personalised care in individuals who are starting on advanced
therapies for Crohn’s Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC).





The Clinical Trials Facility (CTF) at the Translational Gastroenterology Unit
(TGU) in Oxford accommodates a large portfolio of trials, both commercial and
academic. These include studies of vaccines, diagnostics, biomarkers, genetics
and new clinical interventions in a range of diseases of the gut and liver.
The CTF is located on Level 5 at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.





These national and international trials are run and delivered by a growing
team of research nurses, research practitioners, biobankers and administrators
with fantastic support from our consultants, junior doctors and scientists.
The work is carried out with a drive to continually improve quality of care
and clinical outcomes for patients.





**About You**





You will demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the
ability to interact with a wide range of internal/external contacts regularly
and willing to work directly with patients. We are looking for someone
enthusiastic who is able to work autonomously whilst still being a team
player.





A degree in a relevant subject (e.g.: Biological Sciences) and previous
clinical research experience are essential. Previous experience of working in
a laboratory team, using databases and consenting patients to research are
desirable.





As a facility we look to support our staff in their continued professional
development and we would be very keen to support the appointee with further
educational opportunities while in post. If you are interested in this
opportunity please get in touch with our Gastroenterology Research Manager,
Beatriz Camesella Perez to find out more (Beatriz.CamesellaPerez@ouh.nhs.uk).
