This is the chance to join a clinical research organisation with a strong UK presence.

We are specifically looking for candidates based within the South West, London, the Midlands, or the North West regions.

This includes areas such as Oncology, Haematology-Oncology, Rare and Orphan Diseases, and other cutting-edge specialities. You will be instrumental in ensuring the compliant and efficient operation of these studies across a network of key clinical sites.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

The organisation differentiates itself by placing its focus firmly on its people and the quality of their work:

• Empowerment and Quality-First Monitoring: They advocate for a robust and thoughtful approach to site management. Trust is placed in their CRAs, empowering them to manage their sites effectively.

• Managing and overseeing all aspects of the clinical monitoring process for assigned sites, from initial set-up through to final site closure.
• Cultivating and maintaining strong, professional rapport with research investigators and site personnel.
• Strictly ensuring all trial activities adhere to the approved protocol, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and all relevant UK/European regulatory frameworks.
• Contributing effectively to the preparation and review of essential study-related documentation.
• Providing guidance and support to less experienced CRAs, particularly at the Lead CRA level.

Essential Candidate Profile

To thrive in this position, you will need:

• Substantial, independent clinical monitoring experience gained within a clinical trial setting.
• A comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of GCP and UK regulatory requirements.
• Outstanding interpersonal, organisational, and analytical problem-solving capabilities.
• A naturally proactive, diligent, and detail-oriented work ethic.
• Prior experience in one or more of the focus therapeutic areas (e.g., Oncology, Haematology-Oncology, Rare Diseases) would be a considerable advantage.
