Clinical Trials Assistant

at  Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust

The Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism Trials Teams based at In the Allam Diabetes Centre, Hull Royal Infirmary are looking for a Clinical Trials Assistant to work within the unit to support an increasing portfolio of clinical trials.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual who will be responsible for assisting the clinical research team with all aspects of administration and delivery of protocol guided care relating to clinical trials according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP), standard operating procedures (SOPs) and trust policies.
Experience of working in clinical research would be advantageous but not essential. It is however essential that applicants have a minimum of two years’ experience of working with patients in a health care environment and either hold or be willing to work towards a level 3 qualification in a related field. The post-holder will be required to work with all members of the multi-disciplinary team in the recruitment, screening and care of patients in Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism clinical trials. The post requires excellent communication skills, an ability to prioritise workload and to work independently, unsupervised and flexibly.
Please note that this advertised vacancy does not meet the UKVI eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa and therefore HUTH would not be able to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.
The successful applicant will need to be enthusiastic and ready to work actively in supporting the established teams of Clinical Academics, Research Fellows, Research Practitioners and Trials coordinators in recruiting and following up patients who are participating in research trials. Liaison with external research partners such as pharmaceutical companies, research networks and clinical trials units will also be required.
Although the post holder’s primary base would be The Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism Trials Unit, there is an expectation that the post holder will be flexible and responsive to the research needs of the organisation and may therefore be required to work in other research areas.
