The Respirtory Medicine Group Clinical Trials Team are looking for a Clinical Trials Assistant to work within the unit to support an increasing portfolio of clinical trials.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual who will be responsible for assisting the Respratory clinical research teams with all aspects of administration/coordination relating to clinical trials according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), standard operating procedures (SOPs) and trust policies.

The post is offered on a permanent basis, full time. The work pattern will be variable between the hours of 8am and 6pm Mon to Fri to meet the needs of the service requirements.

Please note that this advertised vacancy does not meet the UKVI eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa and therefore HUTH would not be able to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role

Main duties of the job

Experience of working in this specialty or in clinical research, plus a mature attitude, are essential, as is a minimum of two years' experience of working with patients, or in a patient administration role, in a health care environment.

The post-holder will be required to work with all members of the multi-disciplinary team in the recruitment, screening and care of patients in Respiratory clinical trials.

The post requires excellent communication skills, a proficiency in Windows operating systems and general use of office suites including word and outlook, a basic understanding of scientific protocols, an ability to prioritise workload and to work independently, unsupervised and flexibly.

The successful applicant will need to be enthusiastic and ready to work actively in supporting an established team of research nurses in recruiting and following up patients who are participating in research trials. Liaison with external research partners such as pharmaceutical companies, research networks and clinical trials units will also be required.

Although the post holder's primary base would be at CHH, there is an expectation that the post holder will be flexible and responsive to the research needs of the organisation and may therefore be required to work in other research areas across the Trust.
