Glasgow-based

Part-Time: 21 hours per week

Fixed-term: 36 months

Start date: 1st September 2026 (with some flexibility)

We have an excellent opportunity for a qualified nurse to lead on the delivery of a clinical research study in multiple sclerosis (MS) called FutureMS.

The study is led by the Anne Rowling Clinic at the University of Edinburgh, and the post-holder would be employed by this University, however this post-holder would be based in Glasgow (at the Clinical Research Facility (CRF), Queen Elizabeth University Hospital) and responsible for delivering the study at this site.

The job will include

· scheduling visits

· answering questions

· acting as an advocate for the study to encourage participants to re-engage

· collection of clinical data

· data entry into a database

· maintenance of study documentation

The postholder will become part of the wider team of research nurses, practitioners and doctors at the Anne Rowling Clinic. On some of the non-patient facing days, the postholder would be encouraged to work in Edinburgh to engage with the team and become immersed in the wider portfolio of studies and learning/training opportunities. At other times, there will be regular online contact with the Study Manager and other research nurses.

FutureMS is a major longitudinal observational cohort study that is following the MS journeys of 440 people across Scotland. The present post is to conduct the 10-year wave of this study in Glasgow. FutureMS is funded by the Anne Rowling Clinic, University of Edinburgh, and the Scottish Government.

For this role you must be a qualified nurse who has right to work in the UK for 3 years from your start date. You must have some experience with clinical research and be confident to lead – with some degree of independence - on the delivery of this study within the infrastructure of the CRF and the support of senior Anne Rowling Clinic staff. This job requires Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) Registration and Level 2 Disclosure Check.

Although you will be employed by the University of Edinburgh, salary will be matched to the equivalent band in the NHS. The post may be amenable to a secondment from the NHS; this can be discussed with the successful candidate if required.

Closing date: 3rd August 2026
