CCR Administrator

Job summary

As the administrator for the Centre for Clinical and Care Research (CCR) at the Northern Care Alliance (NCA) you will be responsible for supporting the work of the CCR Team in building research capacity and capability amongst the health and care professional workforce across the NCA.

The CCR is virtual so the majority of time the successful candidate will be working from home, but there will be a requirement to be on site 1 day a week and an occasional requirement to travel to other locations within the NCA to support the work of the CCR.

The requirements of the role are varied, allowing for continual personal development in a wide variety of areas. Support and training will be provided to facilitate this.

Main duties of the job

This role incorporates varied administrative tasks to support the work of the CCR and its team. These include responding to email enquiries to the Centre, calendar management to facilitate meetings both within the Centre and with outside organisations, and assisting the preparation of reports.

Good literacy skills are essential for the role. Alongside these, oral communication skills must be effective as there will be occasions where you will be asked to plan and deliver information, engagement and training sessions, either face to face or online.

As the main focus of the CCR is about promotion, engagement and support to individuals starting or continuing their clinical research journey, enthusiasm and willingness are essential for this role.
