Job description

About this role

The Cancer Clinical Trials Unit at UCLH is looking to recruit a Data Manager to support a portfolio of Phase I-III clinical trials in the Cellular Therapy team. You may be required to cover other disease areas on a short‑term or longer‑term basis.

The post-holder will be required to deliver and verify trial‑specific information to sponsors, support the team with the set‑up of new clinical trials and assist as needed with the processing of biological samples, amongst other tasks. You will be part of a supportive and dynamic team, working closely with clinical research staff. Whilst the position is administrative, the role is vital in supporting clinical research staff to deliver excellent care to patients with cancer.

We are currently supporting hybrid remote working, allowing a combination of working from home and office‑based working. Flexibility around on‑site working is essential, and you may be required to attend the office at relatively short notice to ensure that the service is covered.

We ideally want someone with experience of clinical research, knowledge of cancer, good verbal and written communication skills and some experience of working in a healthcare setting. However, if you have some of these criteria and clear enthusiasm for the role, then please apply.

Responsibilities

• Have a portfolio of trials for which they are responsible
• Complete data entry into case report forms for assigned trials as per protocols
• Ensure case report forms are completed are of high quality, accurate and sent in a timely manner
• Resolve issues with source data and anomalous data at the time of reporting, reviewing against previously reported data as well as local and national normal ranges
• Prioritise workload to manage time effectively
• Process updated information and documents for the successful running of the study
• Create and maintain both paper and electronic trial site files
• Maintain list/database of up‑coming, current and recently closed clinical trials
• Maintain electronic and paper list of accrual to trials
• Organise and prepare documentation for audits and monitoring visits
• Process biological samples in the trials lab
• Liaise with the MDT, Principal and Sub Investigators, Sponsors, and support departments professionally and appropriately
• Obtain tumour block samples
• Upload scans as required by trial protocol
• Escalate issues to senior team members

The portfolio is very diverse, with a wide range of studies, reflecting the varied nature of the disease area in this age group. The successful applicant should be organised, pro‑active and able to work autonomously, while also collaborating and communicating with the rest of the trials team and the doctor.

Location

The Cancer Clinical Trials Unit office is based in 250 Euston Rd and comprises three main areas: Haematology, Oncology and Complex Pathways. It supports activity in the local Clinical Research Facility and the North Thames Local Comprehensive Research Network and Experimental Cancer Centre.
