Registered Nurse
KwaZulu-Natal | eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality | Umlazi | Contract
The Health Systems Trust (HST) wishes to appoint an experienced Registered Nurse to be based at the FRESH Clinical Research Site, located at the Megacity mall in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal. FRESH was established in 2012 with an initial focus on the science of acute HIV infection and HIV acquisition risk in adolescent girls and young women. To accomplish this, groups of 20–30 young women, 18–23 years of age, are enrolled each month and followed longitudinally for 9-months. Frequent biological sampling is performed throughout their enrolment, coupled with provision of PrEP and intensive prevention counselling. Over the past 10 years, FRESH has expanded to become a dynamic clinical trial site specialising in early phase (IIa/IIb) trials testing interventions aimed at HIV cure and prevention. In 2022, the research scope at FRESH expanded to include maternal health, pre-term birth and HIV acquisition risk during pregnancy as related to the composition of the vaginal microbiome. For this, FRESH now also enrols groups of young pregnant women who are followed from 1st trimester through to delivery and one year post-partum. What makes the FRESH programme entirely unique, compared to other clinical research sites, is the inclusion of a life-skills and empowerment programme for study participants that is fully integrated into the research protocol. Twice-weekly empowerment classes coincide with schedule research sampling visits. Guided by a holistic, patient-centred framework, FRESH is run by a 30+ person multi-disciplinary team that includes registered and enrolled nurses, counsellors, clinical research assistants, data capturers, quality control officers, pharmacists, recruiters, a doctor and other off-site clinical specialists, classroom facilitators, class assistants and a career co-ordinator. The site is visited frequently by principal investigators (PIs), research scientists and international collaborators and sponsors. This is a fixed-term contract position, renewable based on funding.
