Job overview

We are recruiting for a Senior Clinical Trials Coordinator who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and energetic individual with a clear understanding of issues relating to management of clinical research in the NHS.

Our Values are Include, Respect and Improve. It is important that you understand and refer to our values during your recruitment process and beyond!

Main duties of the job

The main purpose of the role is to support the clinical research team with all aspects of clinical trials administration, according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), standard operating procedures (SOPs) and trust policies.

You will provide support to the Research Nurses and wider Clinical Research Team and undertake supervision of Band 4 Clinical Trial Coordinator(s) when required.

Assist with monitoring administration of research grants or charitable grants and confirming that appropriate payments are made, including remuneration of staff, by liaising with R&D Finance Department.

Oversee the efficient and timely set up of clinical trials and workforce planning on a daily basis to meet organisational requirements and oversee and maintain databases/ spreadsheets and produce monthly progress reports on recruitment.

You will manage own workload for daily trial activity including case report form completion and amendment processing to meet internal and external deadlines.

Working for our organisation

We run the following hospitals:

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
