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.
