Southampton Clinical Trials Unit

Location:  Southampton General Hospital
Salary:   £29,605 to £33,966 per annum
Full Time Fixed Term for 2 years
Closing Date:  Thursday 14 March 2024
Interview Date:   To be confirmed

The Southampton Clinical Trials Unit (SCTU), usually based at Southampton General Hospital, manages a growing portfolio of multi-centre clinical trials that will directly influence routine clinical practice.   At the current time CTU staff are  working based on a hybrid model, attending the office 1-2 days per week and working from home the remainder.

Due to new grant awards and an internal re-organisation we have a vacancy for a Clinical Trial Monitor to join the Quality, Pharmacovigilance and Monitoring team to monitor one or more trials. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with previous clinical trials experience to join a CTU which has full registration status from the UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC). Successful candidate will be appointed at the level 3.

The successful applicant will ideally have experience of working on clinical trials within the NHS or commercial health research sector. Experience of oncology trials would be an advantage but not essential. The successful applicant will also have excellent organisation and communication skills, a good understanding and knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and clinical trial regulations.

The role involves approximate weekly travel to trial sites (both hospital and GP surgeries) in the UK.

The employing organisation is the University of Southampton which offers a competitive salary, pension scheme and other benefits.  The post is offered on a two year fixed term contract in the first instance with the possibility of an extension. This is a full time post but part time may be considered. 

The SCTU is part of a strong research environment in Southampton which includes the Cancer Research UK Clinical Centre, Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre, Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility and NHS R&D Management.
