Summary
We're looking for a proactive Clinical Trials Manager to lead the day-to-day running of research projects, ensuring full compliance with legislation, regulations, sponsor requirements, and governance frameworks.
In this role, you’ll collaborate with a dedicated team of statisticians, data managers, and administrators, all under the leadership of the Head of Clinical Trials and Research Governance.
Your key focus will be the smooth set-up and delivery of clinical trials — driving timely participant recruitment and ensuring the collection of high-quality data and samples.
This role supports clinical research activities by ensuring compliance with relevant UK legislation and regulatory frameworks. It involves advising researchers on governance issues, assisting with research applications (e.g., IRAS, HRA, ethical reviews), and managing study set-up and site initiation. The position includes preparing and reviewing clinical trial documentation, coordinating trial committees, and overseeing trial feasibility and monitoring, especially for multi-centre trials through the Derby Clinical Trials Unit (DCTSU). It also entails managing amendments, maintaining quality standards in line with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and facilitating audits and inspections.
