The post holders will have the opportunity to lead on identified vaccine studies with the support of senior staff. You will be responsible for supporting the day to day running of maternal vaccine studies. This will include being responsible for supporting participant identification recruitment, and subsequent care and follow up of research participants.
This role involves liaison with Principal Investigators and other members of the multidisciplinary team to provide high quality research, data collection and clinical care, with a commitment to participant safety and welfare. The post holder will be expected to advocate for participants and families and empower them to make informed choices concerning their involvement in clinical research studies by providing advice and information.
