We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Research Governance Manager, with experience of working at a regional level, to join the Research and Innovation Directorate (R&I) at University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM). This senior role will provide regional leadership, co-ordination, and standardisation of research governance processes across the North Midlands, directly addressing critical bottlenecks in commercial and non-commercial study set-up. This role will play a key part in supporting centres at different stages of research sponsorship development by strengthening their research governance, monitoring, auditing, and oversight frameworks. Through targeted guidance, the role will ensure consistent standards across all areas and provide the necessary support to achieve and maintain MHRA readiness. You will reduce unwarranted variation, and support delivery of the 150-day research study set-up target.
The role will be instrumental in transforming future healthcare and improving outcomes through research evidence - both for our Trust and across the region. With NIHR infrastructure funding and the opening of our Commercial Research Delivery Centre in April 2025, this is an exciting time to join the UHNM R&I Directorate as we push the boundaries of clinical research to benefit patients.
