Summary

In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.

The UK has an exceptional Life Sciences sector, and its continued growth – underpinned by Government Life Sciences Vision and the UK Vision for Clinical Research Delivery – is a fundamental pillar of the UK’s ambition to become a science superpower. A key driver of this growth is clinical research, which is an essential step in developing the next generation of medicines and medical technology, harnessing the power of the UK’s research infrastructure and delivering benefits to patients and the public worldwide.

The Commercial Clinical Trials team in DHSC are responsible for ensuring effective delivery of an environment where clinical research can flourish.

This post will support the development and implementation of a programme of work to make the UK a world leader in clinical trials and improve the UK's clinical research ecosystem.

The successful applicant will support G6 and G7 policy leads to ensure our governance processes are robust and to ensure smooth programme management of the sector's work to improve the UK's environment for commercial clinical research. They will also support the team to develop and deliver policies and initiatives to support this.

The successful applicant will need excellent organisational skills, be able to prioritise efficiently and keep track of and monitor progress on a wide range of issues to ensure work is prioritised and deadlines are met, underpinned by a strong programme management approach. They will also need a flexible approach to managing conflicting priorities and an ability to establish strong relationships with a wide range of people across government, the life sciences industry, academia, medical research charities and the NHS.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help drive forward UK clinical research in a developmental role that is varied, challenging and frequently fast paced.
