About the Role

We provide academically-led acute and specialist services to people from the local area, throughout the United Kingdom and overseas. Our vision is to deliver top-quality patient care, excellent education and world-class research. The Cancer Services department sits within the Surgery and Cancer Board and incorporates comprehensive outpatient, day care, ambulatory care, and inpatient services for Oncology and Haematology.

The Cancer Clinical Trials Unit office, based at 250 Euston Road, comprises three main areas: Haematology, Oncology and Complex Pathways. It supports activity in the local Clinical Research Facility and the North Thames Local Comprehensive Research Network and Experimental Cancer Centre. Each group consists of teams of research nurses, clinical trial practitioners and data managers, providing support to local Investigators wishing to conduct clinical trials and other high-quality clinical research projects within UCLH.

Each team supports a portfolio of research and ensures that trials are conducted to the highest standards and in accordance with UK legislation and the R&D Governance Framework. The aim of the Unit is to effectively use resources to ensure that patients have access to entry into clinical trials, as appropriate, while maintaining the highest quality of care.

Key responsibilities include taking personal responsibility for ensuring that UCLH resources are used efficiently and with minimum wastage, adhering to all Trust policies and procedures including the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Data Protection Act, and monitoring and maintaining physical resources within the work area, reporting any related problems to line management.
