I'm working with a growing, full-service CRO that’s looking to bring an experienced Freelance CRA on board to support upcoming clinical trials. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working independently, values flexibility, and wants to be part of a collaborative team environment.

About the CRO:

This is a small but expanding CRO that partners with biotech and pharma companies on early- to late-phase clinical trials. They’re known for being responsive, thorough, and committed to quality. As their study portfolio grows, they’re adding freelance CRAs to their network who can jump in and take ownership of site monitoring activities.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Monitor clinical trial sites across various stages—site selection, initiation, routine monitoring, and close-out
• Ensure sites are following protocol, GCP, and all applicable regulations
• Review source data, CRFs, and site documentation for accuracy and completeness
• Identify and follow up on any site issues or deviations
• Build strong working relationships with site staff
• Prepare and submit clear and timely visit reports
• Work closely with the internal clinical project team to keep things moving smoothly

What We're Looking For:

• At least 2 years of recent CRA experience in the U.k (independent or CRO-based)
• Strong understanding of GCP, FDA regulations, and clinical trial processes
• Background in life sciences, nursing, or a related field (Bachelor’s degree required)
• Able to work independently and manage multiple sites
• Comfortable with EDC systems and remote monitoring tools
• Based in the U.K. with ability to travel regionally as needed (up to ~60%)

Nice to Have:

• Experience with women's health, Neurology and Medical device
• Previous work with smaller CROs or sponsor teams
• A flexible, problem-solving approach

Why This Role?

• Competitive hourly pay
• Full remote flexibility + site travel
• Ongoing projects with potential for long-term collaboration
• A tight-knit team that values your input and expertise
