Research Nurse I Leeds

Turn Your First Years on the Ward into a New Career Path Have your first 1-2 years on a hospital ward not turned out the way you expected? At Fortrea's Early Clinical Research Unit in Drapers Yard, Leeds, you can use that hard-earned experience in a different way, helping shape new medical treatments while still making a direct impact on patient care. You will work in our modern 65,000 ft², 100 bed clinic, only 7 minutes from the train station. It is here where life-saving medicines begin their journey. As a nurse, you will be part of those early steps, supporting research right when new treatments are first explored. WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Monitor participant wellbeing and document any adverse events.
• Obtain informed consent and guide participants through study procedures.
• Record accurate data in electronic systems to support study quality.
• Learn how research studies are planned and conducted.
• Develop your skills until you are responsible for your own studies.
WHAT YOU BRING
• NMC-registered nurse.
• Experience in a fast-paced ward environment (such as A&E, surgery, oncology or similar), consistent with a Band-5 nurse who has progressed beyond the newly qualified stage.
• Confidence working independently with core clinical procedures, developed through hands-on ward experience rather than training-only exposure.
• A genuine interest in clinical research and how new medicines are developed.
• Comfort using electronic health records and clinical systems.
• Please note that this position requires existing right-to-work status in the UK, as visa sponsorship cannot be provided.
BENEFITS
• Competitive salary with enhanced compensation or flexi time for weekend, twilight and night shifts.
• Full time, permanent role, 37 hours per week.
• Life, accidental death and disability cover, income protection, pension and medical insurance.
CULTURE

• One of the best training programmes in the industry and real growth paths, including opportunities to move into areas such as international project management.
• A modern, purpose built research environment in Drapers Yard that makes it easier to focus on learning, teamwork and high quality care.
