You will be a valued member of the programme and will be supported with training, mentoring, and clear routes for career progression.

This post is part-time (14 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

• Support other trials within the gynaecological cancer portfolio as required.
• Collaborate closely with Dr Neil Ryan and the trial team; contribute to trial governance and decision‑making.
• Support PhD students and junior team members through training, mentoring, and career development opportunities.
• Contribute to programme development, with training and clear routes for progression.

Skills and Attributes for Success

• Proven experience managing multicentre clinical trials (ideally oncology/gynaecology) from start-up to close-out, including site activation and recruitment.
• Degree in a relevant discipline; postgraduate certification/diploma in clinical research/project management (or equivalent experience).
• Strong working knowledge of ICH-GCP, HRA/REC/MHRA processes, EDC systems, and data quality; evidence of ongoing CPD.
• Demonstrable project management and leadership skills (planning, risk management, stakeholder coordination), with excellent communication and mentoring.
• Financial literacy with experience of research finance systems (budgeting, forecasting, invoicing) and evidence of management training.
