Role Overview:

As a CRA I/II, you will be responsible for ensuring the integrity and quality of clinical data through meticulous on-site and remote monitoring activities.

• Ensure strict compliance with regulatory requirements and sponsor expectations.
• Participate in team meetings and training sessions.
• For CRA II, provide mentorship and training to junior CRAs, fostering their professional development.

Candidate Profile:

• Structured Progression: The client has a culture of continuous learning and development, with clear pathways for career advancement within the FSP model and the wider CRO.
• Work-Life Balance: The client prioritises employee well-being, promoting a healthy work-life balance through flexible working arrangements and supportive management.
