Job Title: Senior Trial Manager
The Cancer Research UK core funded Southampton Clinical Trials Unit (SCTU), based at Southampton General Hospital, has expertise in the design, conduct and publication of clinical trials and other well-designed studies from first-in-human phase I to practice changing phase III trials. Managing a growing portfolio (75% cancer, 25% non-cancer) that covers the complete spectrum of clinical practice, from primary care through to tertiary referral medicine, including pan-cancer experimental therapeutics, surgery, radiotherapy and early diagnosis. Undertaking academically sponsored multi-centre early and late phase clinical trials, we work nationally and internationally to create the evidence for patient benefit that will directly influence routine clinical practice in the NHS and overseas.
Due to expansion, we currently have a vacancy for a Senior Trial Manager to join the existing cancer portfolio team. The Senior Trial Manager will be responsible for the oversight of trials ensuring they are delivered according to required standards, time and budget. This is a senior post within the CTU with advisory, leadership, engagement, and line management responsibilities.
