The Human Health Research Coordinator (HHRC) is responsible for effectively coordinating human health research studies, collaborating closely with PIs, research nurses, midwives, and other research staff.

He kōrero mōu | About you
You will bring experience coordinating or supporting human health research studies, with a strong understanding of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), research ethics, and data management. You’ll be confident managing project timelines and research protocols, and have excellent communication skills - including the ability to engage warmly and professionally with study participants by phone and in person.
You will have a relevant tertiary qualification in a field such as nursing, public health, science, allied health, social work or education, and you’ll be comfortable working independently while contributing to a collaborative and multidisciplinary team. A high level of accuracy and ethical awareness is essential, as is a current driver’s licence, as travel to participant visits across Auckland may be required.
Familiarity with REDCap or similar data capture systems, and prior experience in community-based research or clinical trials, would be an advantage.
