Manchester, United Kingdom The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Research and Innovation Division at The Christie. We are looking to appoint a Clinical Trials Clerk to the Lung Cancer clinical research delivery team within The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

After a minimum of 6 months (post competency review) there is scope for this role to develop into a Clinical Trials Assistant (Band 3) upon successful completion of a competency framework. We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual, who has a keen interest in, and a basic understanding of, clinical research.

Key skills required are excellent organisation and communication skills, and an ability to work well both in a team and using their own initiative.

Applicants should meet all the essential criteria described in the job description as a minimum, including a good understanding of Microsoft Word and Excel, and previous administrative experience. I would strongly encourage interested applicants to contact the team to further discuss the roles and how you can become a key member of this exemplary team.

Please note that this post is offered as a fixed term contract for 12 months in the first instance at 37.5 h/week.

The focus of this role is to assist the clinical research team by providing a high quality clerical and administrative service according to ICH-Good Clinical Practice (GCP), standard operating procedures (SOPs) and Trust policies.

The roles will involve assisting with filing and archiving of clinical trial documentation, management of supplies and equipment, supporting visits from trial monitors and completing team trackers and reports, along with general administrative tasks as required by the trial coordination team. Once the individuals have developed an experience base within clinical research and after a 6-month minimum competency review, there would be opportunity to move into the Clinical Trials Assistant role where main duties would extend to completion of case report forms/data management, processing amendments to trials and leading monitoring visits.

We are a team that strives to develop our staff to the best of their potential and are keen for all members of our team to continue to learn and share knowledge.

The Christie Lung Cancer Research Team vision is to build upon our reputation as a local and national leader in clinical trial delivery. Pursuing exemplary care and prioritising the safety and experience of our clinical research participants, carried out by a highly trained and passionate clinical research team. By becoming a member of the Lung Research Team, you will be joining a dynamic and supportive team who are constantly striving to improve ourselves by working collaboratively across the nursing, medical and administrative teams.

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country. We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years. We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
