Fixed term

We recently went into partnership with Bournemouth University and, with the merger of Poole Hospital and Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch Hospital NHS Foundation Trusts, became University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust this is a really exciting time to join us!

Our ambitious multi-million pound plans to develop our sites are well underway, including developing RBH as the major acute and emergency hospital in East Dorset, PH as the major planned care hospital, and ambitious plans for Christchurch to support on-going patient treatment.

Joining UHD gives you the opportunity to enjoy all that Dorset has to offer. Bournemouth is a vibrant university town , and Poole has a large natural harbour and is perfect for water sports or relaxing at a quayside restaurant.

With both the New Forest and Isle of Purbeck on our doorstep, over 7 miles of stunning sandy beaches and coastal paths, we are located within an area of amazing beauty providing a great place for you to achieve your rewarding work life balance.


An opportunity has come up to work within our busy Research and Development team at UHD. The department is involved in the set-up, design, conduct and analysis of clinical trials and other clinical research studies. We work in collaboration with patients, research teams, hospital departments, other NHS Trusts, commercial and academic partners. We have also played a pivotal role in the delivery of Urgent Public Health research during the pandemic including the recruitment of participants into COVID vaccine trials via our dedicated research hub.

Based in the central R&D office and sharing our passion and enthusiasm for clinical research in the NHS, you will be required to work across the research portfolio under the supervision of the Head of Research. We are looking for someone with research management and governance experience to work in the role of Research Facilitator, working specifically within our portfolio of home grown, sponsored research as well as within our developing Clinical Trials Unit.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop your research management skills and expand the role to the needs of the Trust and external requirements. This person will be required to work across the Trust independently and to manage their own workload. You will have an understanding of research governance, regulatory approval processes and a working knowledge of regulatory requirements for research.

This post is an integral part of the central R&D team to ensure the success and growth of the Trust’s research portfolio.

Excellent attention to detail, ability to multitask and organise workload are essential skills for this post. You will also join us at an exciting time as we build our Clinical Trials Unit and the post holder(s) may be required to work flexibly across Poole and Bournemouth to support this function. This is an excellent opportunity to work within a friendly, dynamic, multi-disciplinary team supporting high quality clinical research.
