Anaesthesia is the UK’s largest secondary care specialty. 16% of all hospital consultants are anaesthetists and over two-thirds of hospital in-patients will see an anaesthetist. The Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA) supports approximately 17,500 members and fellows and approximately 3,500 from the RCoA’s Faculties of Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Medicine.

The RCoA is committed to setting the highest standards for anaesthesia and patient care and we work closely with anaesthetists to improve the service they provide. This work is supported by high-quality research focusing on patients’ safety and outcomes.

We are looking for an organised and efficient Audit & Research Administrator to support the research team in the delivery of a large national healthcare audit and other ongoing projects. 

The National Emergency Laparotomy Audit (NELA) has been commissioned by the Health Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) and is being carried out by The Royal College of Anaesthetists.  Emergency laparotomy is a common major procedure performed for a variety of abdominal conditions where emergency surgery is required.  This national clinical audit aims to measure and improve the quality of care of adults undergoing this procedure.

The Audit & Research Administrator will be a confident and proactive individual with strong organisational and time management skills, who will thrive on the challenge of supporting NELA, and meeting other project demands of the research team.  The post-holder will be a self-motivated, flexible and enthusiastic team player, willing to pick up routine and emerging tasks as they arise.

 As the Audit & Research Administrator you will need to have a keen eye for detail and methodical approach to help with the final preparations for data collection and the ongoing fielding of queries via the help desk.  A keen eye for detail, accuracy and good IT skills will assist you in updating content for our websites.  MS Office literacy is essential, including intermediate Excel skills. Familiarity of using databases is desirable.

Experience of working in a healthcare or research environment is an advantage, but more important is your ability to maintain high standards whilst working under pressure.
