3 months ago

Leeds, United Kingdom Fortrea Full time

As a leading global contract research organization (CRO) with a passion for scientific rigor and decades of clinical development experience, Fortrea provides pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device customers a wide range of clinical development, patient access and technology solutions across more than 20 therapeutic areas. With over 19,000 staff conducting operations in more than 90 countries, Fortrea is transforming drug and device development for partners and patients across the globe.

As one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations in the world, operating four ultramodern Clinical Research Units in the UK and US, the jewel in the crown is our facility at Drapers Yard Leeds. A brand new, world class, state-of-the-art 65,000 ft² clinic with 100 beds (and growing), fully dedicated to Phase I Clinical research (and 7 minutes walking from the train station)

And this is where you come in because the laboratory in the Clinic is expanding and is now seeking our next Volunteer Screening Coordinator.
- This is an office-based, full-time and permanent job, working hours are 37 hours per week, five days over seven.
- Not common, but you may be required to work a mix of shifts, including weekends (compensated with flexi time or overtime pay.)

WHO YOU ARE

You bring some previous experience working as a Healthcare Assistant or similar; or in clinical trials (either at a Clinical Pharmacology Unit like ours, a CRO or a hospital setting). The experience we need you to bring is a combination of:

- Performing Clinical Functions such as: blood pressure, venipuncture, weights, pulse, respiratory rate, temperature readings, preparation and accurate recording of ECGs/Holters, collection and processing of biological samples.

OR
- Reviewing and Quality-Controlling essential documents for Ethic Committees submissions

If you have experience only in one of these areas, we want to hear from you anyway: we have a robust training program to grow your skills.
- Bachelor's Degree in one of the Life Sciences is needed.
- Able to demonstrate working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel),

ON A NORMAL DAY, YOU WILL

You will work in International Phase 1 clinical trials. All our teams in Drapers Yard live to answer one question: is the drug safe? Under this framework, you will have a double responsibility:
1. Ensure the correct eligibility of participants in the right clinical trial.
- Based on the study protocol and the Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria, you will determine what screening procedures are necessary to determine participant qualification for the clinical trial.
- Arrange any special screening procedures and prepare and organize all necessary materials for participant screening and physical exams that are necessary for the study.

You will ensure the smooth workflow and accuracy of these screening procedures coordinating a group of Research Technicians, and will QC their work, but also you need to be ready to step in to perform those activities yourself when needed. Some of the main screening tasks will be:

- Height, weight, frame size, venipuncture, vital signs, electrocardiograms, spirometry and laboratory procedures related mainly with collection and processing of biological samples, etc.
- You may also be involved in obtaining informed consent and medical history from participants.

In this job you will gain a profound insight in how clinical trials are executed. It´ll have you interacting with Medical Investigators and Study Managers to coordinate the screening scheduling system so they meet deadlines on volunteer screening and selection.

2. Be the right-hand support of the Clinic Supervisor, especially when it comes to:

- Reviewing and Quality-Controlling essential documents for Ethics Committee approvals,
- Attending study planning meetings,
- Producing weekly staff duty rota to achieve team´s optimum time management and utilising the full potential of the teams involved.

THERE IS ONE THING THAT ONLY FORTREA CAN OFFER

Under the same roof, we have: the clinic, a state-of-the-art processing laboratory and cutting-edge cGMP pharmacy. Supporting these functions we also have all elements of the full clinical Pharmacology Service including Data Management, Medical and Scientific, regulatory affairs, statistics and biometrics, all of which provides you with a hands-on opportunity to develop your career within Fortrea.

You will witness firsthand the dosing and safety research as they are being conducted in real time. When the drug you worked with gets approved, you know you´ll touch many patient´s lives around the world.
