Job description

Come and join a large, experienced and dynamic research management team. Here at the Leicester Diabetes Centre we are looking for an ambitious Trial Manager to work on the set up, management and delivery of research studies and clinical trials in the areas of diabetes and other long term health conditions.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with trial management or coordination experience, who relishes a challenge, is keen to use their own initiative, and is flexible to the changing demands of research. You need to be self-motivated, a strong communicator, and be able to work independently within a team environment.

The Centre forms one of the largest facilities in Europe for conducting first class clinical research in diabetes and other long term health conditions. We are dedicated to ensuring that people with diabetes and other long term health conditions live long, healthy lives.

Leicester Diabetes Centre is a partnership between the NHS, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, and is academically affiliated with the University of Leicester.

You will join a team of research administrators, trial coordinators and trial managers working on single or multi-site research studies/clinical trials. Your role will be to ensure allocated studies receive timely and appropriate management to reach time and target, managing any challenges and issues along the way with diplomacy and highly developed communication skills.

National and occasional international travel to support research sites may be required. You will be expected to line manage one or more administrative staff and will likely supervise the work of a trial coordinator. For this role, you must be able to attend the office in person.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
