Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Although the work of a CTA cant be completed in isolation (think of research like a relay race between clinical & admin teams), when competent, youll be responsible for your own projects, ensuring they are set-up to a high standard, following process and meeting important targets. Youll need to have great concentration & attention skills, as youll be reading project documents & extricating information to gain a good understanding of each project. This understanding is key to ensure trial activities are deliverable locally, projects are conducted safely & according to the relevant legislation. Youll also need to adhere to version control.

A vital part of setting up a project locally, is ensuring supporting departments within the Trust are aware of the project & seeking safety approvals. This often requires summarising complex information in a concise manner. Youll also work with other research staff both locally and nationally, clinicians & drug companies to ensure Trust readiness. Co-ordinating busy staff & working in parallel with other processes is a balancing act.

As such, great communication is key This role is varied & interesting but a different pace from other NHS admin work due to the autonomous nature of set-up. Please refer to the Job Description for full details. If you think you could work as a CTA, we'd like to hear from you

As such, we are looking for someone who is not afraid to use their initiative (within boundaries of Job description) to investigate possible solutions to problems that occur. The majority of the CTA working day is PC based, so youll need excellent IT skills. The CTAs use a system called EDGE to record the progress of each project being set-up. The CTA team have produced a library of workflows within EDGE, which act as a to-do list & a guide to complete many of our processes.

MS office is used extensively to prepare documents for opening projects, so youll need to be very confident using word, excel etc.
