Clinical Trials Assistant

Job summary

The Gastroenterology IBD Clinical Trials Team are seeking a highly organised and proactive Clinical Trials Assistant to provide essential administrative support across a growing portfolio of IBD clinical trials.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual with strong administrative skills who will play a key role in supporting the IBD research team with day-to-day coordination and office-based tasks. This will include maintaining study documentation, managing data and filing systems, scheduling appointments, preparing study materials, supporting meeting organisation, and assisting with general administrative duties in line with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), standard operating procedures (SOPs) and Trust policies.

Please note that this post does not meet the UKVI eligibility requirements for a Skilled Worker Visa; therefore, HUTH is unable to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.

The post is offered on a fixed-term or secondment basis, full-time (37.5 hours per week). Part-time hours may be considered. Applicants requesting a secondment must seek agreement from their current line manager prior to applying.

Working hours will fall between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday, in line with service needs.

Previous applicants should not re-apply.

Main duties of the job

The post-holder will work closely with members of the multi-disciplinary team to support the administrative aspects of patient recruitment, screening and follow-up for IBD clinical trials.

Strong communication skills are essential, together with proficiency in Windows-based systems and routine use of Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Outlook and Excel. Applicants should be able to prioritise a varied workload, work independently with minimal supervision, and demonstrate a basic understanding of research processes and study protocols.

The successful applicant will be enthusiastic, reliable and able to provide high-quality administrative support to the established team of research nurses, contributing to the smooth delivery of patient pathways throughout research studies. The role will also involve routine liaison with external partners including pharmaceutical companies, research networks and clinical trials units.

Although the primary base for the post-holder will be Castle Hill Hospital, there is an expectation that the role will adapt to the needs of the wider research service. Flexibility may therefore be required to support activities across other research areas within the Trust.
