An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Trust as a Research Project Manager for the ColoCap Trial.

You will join a national study team being established across the UK and will play a key role managing the study at NHS sites in England. This is an opportunity to get involved at the outset, inputting into the study set up and approval stages and subsequently delivering this ground-breaking trial over the next 3 years.

The post holder will additionally be responsible for the day-to-day management of other research projects, studies and trials at the Trust as required. The Project Manager must be able to provide initial advice, guidance, and support for researchers so candidates must already be familiar with the regulatory environment surrounding research in the NHS.

The post may therefore be varied, with opportunities for oversight of several concurrent research studies across a potentially clinically diverse field. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with previous trial/study management or coordination experience, who relishes a challenge, is keen to use their own initiative, and is flexible to the changing demands of research being able to prioritise competing workloads.

The right candidate will be highly organised, self-motivated, a strong communicator, proactive and be able to work independently within a team environment.

Line management of other members of the team is required and national travel to support research sites may be necessary.'

Previous applicants need not apply.
