The Royal Marsden has a vital role in championing change and improvement in cancer care through research and innovation, education and leading-edge practice. The Urology Clinical Trials Research Unit focuses on research delivery for patients primarily with prostate and bladder cancers. The trials you will be working on are phase 1-3 trials which are sponsored by commercial companies or academic institutes, where The Royal Marsden is a participating site.
The Clinical Trial Administrator role is a pivotal role, largely focusing on data management by the means of electronic data entry and resolving data queries. You will be in close liaison with monitors and auditors from external pharmaceutical and CRO companies, as well as academic institutions, with a shared goal of ensuring that good quality data is recorded and reported.
You will also partake in administrative tasks such as preparing documents for clinics, assisting monitoring visits, requesting imaging reports electronically, maintaining trackers and filing.
The job is based at our Chelsea site, and due to the handling of paper documents, we’re happy to offer one day of remote working. You will be joining a small, fast-paced team, and we’re constantly looking for ways to improve and streamline the service.
