NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

• Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically.
• Use AI wisely: It’s fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don’t let it write your answers.
• Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements.

Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you not an AI tool.

You will be responsible for the recruitment, care and treatment of patients involved in clinical trials with a wide variety of malignancies. The post holder will need to work with a high degree of independence and will be responsible for the recruitment, care and treatment of patients involved in clinical trials, including the administration of cytotoxic therapy and other systemic anti-cancer therapies. You will work closely with other research nurses, clinicians, data managers and the multidisciplinary team throughout the SCAN region. This involves attendance and input at multidisciplinary meetings and clinics. Occasional travel out with Edinburgh to study meetings or to other hospitals in the region may be required.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated nurse with experience in a related specialty who would like the opportunity to work within the SE Cancer Research Network. You should ideally have experience in clinical research and/or appropriate oncology nursing experience and be educated to degree level. The post holder should have excellent inter-personal and communication skills, knowledge of the research process including ICH/GCP guidelines and research governance, and evidence of continuous personal, professional and academic development. Attention to detail is essential and good IT skills are expected. You must be able to demonstrate flexibility and adaptability to an ever-changing working environment.

This is an exposure prone post.
