Have you ever wanted to see a clinical trial happen in real time?

This is not monitoring from a distance. At Fortrea Clinical Pharmacology Services in Leeds, CRAs are on site, in the flow of the study, when it matters most.

You see dosing days. You walk the clinic floor. You review data as it is generated, not months later. It is a different way to work as a CRA.

It all happens inside a world-class 100-bed, 65,000 ft² Clinical Research Unit, only 7 minutes from the train station, where life-saving medicines begin their journey.

We are currently hiring a CRA II to support Phase I–Ib studies. This is:

Full-time, permanent job. Ideally, you live in Yorkshire or within driving distance of our Drapers Yard Clinical Research Unit.

WHY A CAREER IN EARLY CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT AT FORTREA?

Involved in studies even before they are won (i.e., participating at BID meetings), you will:

  • Be on-site for the moments sponsors travel the world to witness. This includes first-in-human dosing days, when you review eligibility, observe dosing and safety procedures in real time, and see decisions unfold as the study begins.
  • Follow PK samples into the lab, and work side by side with clinic, pharmacy, and lab teams during the most critical moments of the study.
  • Rarely work alone. Studies are often monitored alongside another CRA, and during busy periods you will find several colleagues on site at the same time.
  • The Leeds Clinical Research Unit gives you the option to work from the office, collaborate face to face, and build real working relationships with CRAs, CTLs, and clinical teams. You will be part of a global team, closely interacting with our other US Clinics/CRAs.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
