Senior Coordinator to the Clinical Research Secretariat

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Coordinator to the Clinical Research Secretariat following retirement of the existing post-holder within Joint Clinical R& D Core Services.

The Senior Coordinator to the Clinical Research Secretariat is a senior member of the Secretariat function, sitting within the Joint Clinical Research & Development Core Services. The Secretariat function provides administrative support to the clinical research business of The Royal Marsden and the Institute of Cancer Research. The purpose of the role is to directly support the Director of Clinical Research Operations as a personal assistant/diary manager, in addition to supporting other members of the Clinical Research Directorate's senior management team as required. The role also fully arranges and manages a wide range of senior/high level meetings/committees/fora, and provides supervisory oversight of other members of the Secretariat function that provide personal assistant support.

The post holder will work at all times with a high degree of discretion and initiative, respecting confidentiality of information. The post holder will frequently be the first point of contact for key stakeholders and will develop excellent working relationships both internally and externally. The post holder must be experienced in both supporting diary management of senior colleagues, and proficient in the writing of succinct minutes for meetings/committees/fora.

Main duties of the job

What we will give you:
  • Job satisfaction. Your work will make a direct impact on people with cancer, improving and saving lives in the NHS and beyond.
  • Professional development. Your professional growth is one of our top priorities, with a wide range of internal and external courses available, including funding/support to undertake higher degrees, and the option to attend national conferences.
  • Flexibility. We embrace different perspectives, work styles, health and wellness approaches, care of families and productivity.
  • Outstanding facilities. The core clinical research and development team is based in the Oak Cancer Centre in Sutton, providing a modern and welcoming working environment within a hub of innovation and discovery.
  • Benefits package. Our generous holiday entitlement is 27 days per year, rising to 29 days after five years' service and 33 days after 10 years' service, plus bank holidays. You will be automatically enrolled to the NHS pension scheme, widely acknowledged as one of the best pension schemes available.
  • Psychological safety. We support an environment of fearlessness to push the boundaries of cancer research.
  • Commitment to diversity. We strive to foster a welcoming workplace where everyone can thrive. We value diversity and are committed to the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minority groups. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and candidates with disabilities.

Job description

Job responsibilities

For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification:

The impact you will make: Every day in the UK, over 1,000 people of all ages are diagnosed with cancer. More than half will currently die from this devastating disease. Many survive with long-term effects that can reduce their quality of life. Also, cancer does not affect everyone equally. Some people and groups are more vulnerable, some are less likely to access modern medical innovations, and some are more likely to die from cancer. The Royal Marsden is recognised worldwide for the quality of its cancer services and is rated outstanding by the NHS regulator. The ICR is the only UK academic institution solely devoted to the understanding of cancer. Together, we have a long history of driving research that changes NHS care and practice, tackling the inequalities and challenges of cancer. Our shared vision is to improve outcomes for everyone at risk of and affected by cancer across the UK through development of new approaches to prevention, more accurate and earlier diagnosis, and bespoke therapies, underpinned by smart use of data and technology. At any time, we have more than 900 clinical research studies active, supported by an extensive workforce including a core clinical research and development team. We benefit from working with globally recognised key opinion leaders, committed researchers and research support staff, and world-class infrastructure.
