Position Summary

Toronto Memory Program is seeking a compassionate, detail-oriented, and metrics-driven Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Clinical Trial Recruitment team as a Clinical Trial Educator. In this role, you will help identify clinical trial opportunities, collaborate with physicians, and educate patients and families about research participation.

This is an ideal position for someone passionate about Alzheimer's disease, aging, and clinical research - who thrives at the intersection of patient care, education and strategic recruitment. You'll help connect eligible patients with trials, with a special focus on reaching communities historically underrepresented in research.

We are looking for someone who is metrics-driven and empathetic, able to translate complex information into meaningful conversations, and motivated by improving outcomes for older adults through inclusive research. Your impact will be measured not only by numbers but by the lives you help reach and engage.
