Research Administrator
Embedded Files
As Research Administrator at Sheffield BRC, I provide administrative support to help ensure effective day-to-day running of the BRC. My responsibilities include coordinating meetings and activities, maintaining information and webpages, supporting communications, managing room bookings, assisting with reporting, and arranging travel and accommodation for BRC members and colleagues.
Career and experience
I began my NHS career in 2021 as an Administration Team Leader within the COVID-19 Vaccination Service, where I worked until 2023. I then joined the NIHR Sheffield Clinical Research Facility (CRF) as an Administrator, supporting the CRF Operations Team. During my time at the CRF, I gained experience in clinical research administration, including coordinating feasibility meetings and supporting the authorisations and amendments process for clinical studies.
Why research matters
I find research rewarding because of its potential to make a real difference to people's lives. Having worked in both the COVID-19 Vaccination Service and the CRF, I have seen how important it is for teams to work together to support research that can improve health outcomes and quality of life.
I value being part of a wider team contributing to research that has the potential to benefit patients. I enjoy the variety of my work, the opportunity to support colleagues across the BRC, and the knowledge that the work we do behind the scenes helps enable important research to take place.
