Clinical Trial Finder Officer in Yorkshire

Every day, people affected by dementia face questions about what's next. For many, taking part in clinical research offers hope, purpose, and a chance to shape the future of dementia care. But finding the right trial, understanding what it involves, and knowing how to take part can be confusing. At Alzheimers Society, we are committed to breaking down these barriers. The Alzheimers Society UK Dementia Trials Network (UKDTN) Trial Finder is an open-access platform that connects people living with mild cognitive impairment or dementia, their families, and healthcare professionals, with research opportunities across the UK. It empowers people to make informed decisions about taking part in clinical trials, wherever they live.

We are looking for a Clinical Trial Finder Officer who can ensure this platform is accurate, accessible, and meaningful. By raising awareness of, and widening access to, clinical trial opportunities, your work will help more people to take part in clinical trials and feel more in control of their journey. You will work closely with colleagues across the Alzheimers Society UKDTN Research Nurse Programme, Research Communications team, Data and Digital teams, Participation team, and with a range of external partners to maintain the Trial Finder, respond to enquiries, and ensure that the platform is reliable, culturally informed and inclusive. Your attention to detail, organisational skills, and passion for supporting people affected by dementia will help make a tangible difference in people's lives.

Oversee the day-to-day operation of the Trial Finder, keeping it reliable, user-friendly, and up-to-date. Maintain accurate, accessible, and approved study listings, ensuring clarity for all users. Implement and manage quality control processes, including version control, audit trails, and regular review of trial entries. Monitor user feedback and enquiries, resolving gaps and escalating technical issues while driving continuous improvement based on insights. Liaise with clinicians, NHS teams, study sponsors, and external stakeholders to verify trial details and maintain accurate contact and site information. Work collaboratively across Alzheimers Society teams, UKDTN patient workstream and wider dementia research stakeholders to coordinate updates, maintain consistency, and respond to queries. Track, report, and analyse key metrics on Trial Finder usage, reach, and impact, and support wider communications activity. Ensure compliance with ethical, governance, and accessibility standards, embedding inclusion by design.

You have experience managing public-facing research databases, platforms, or similar systems, and are committed to making information clear, accurate, and accessible for everyone. You are organised and confident in balancing multiple priorities, while ensuring your work is thorough, reliable, and inclusive. You build positive, collaborative relationships with colleagues and partners, actively listening to, and valuing, different perspectives and experiences. You communicate with empathy and sensitivity, supporting people affected by dementia, their families, and carers in ways that are respectful and inclusive. You are driven by purpose, embrace inclusion in all aspects of your work, and are passionate about helping more people access and engage with dementia research.

This role is more than coordination; it's about creating meaningful access to research opportunities. You will make information approachable, break down barriers, and help people engage with clinical trials that could change lives. You'll join a collaborative, supportive environment that values inclusion, continuous learning, and making a tangible difference. Your skills will directly support people living with dementia and their families, and you'll play a key role in advancing research that matters.

Interviews are scheduled to take place week commencing 4th May via MS Teams.
