The post holder will collaborate closely with the CRF Operations Manager and will be instrumental in facilitating the initial stages of trials before handing over to specialty teams once studies are operational. This role requires a deep understanding of research protocols and a commitment to delivering high-quality research services in a dynamic environment where trials may occur at any hour.
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Bristol Clinical Research Facility (CRF) - Provides purpose-built space and expertise for the delivery of high quality early translational and experimental medicine (ET/EM) research and other complex research studies, safely and to the very highest standards.
The CRF is building a portfolio of early phase and complex studies across the Trust. The post holder will be based at the Clinical Research Facility on level B of St Michael's Hospital, however early phase and complex trials must be delivered in areas where the participants are safest, so the post holder will be required to work in different parts of the trust, and with different research teams to support the set up of such studies beyond the CRF.
The CRF senior trial co-ordinator will support the set up and initial coordination of early phase and complex studies in different areas across the trust in agreement with the CRF Operations Manager. They will have knowledge and understanding of the regulatory and legal frameworks related to the planning, set up, undertaking and closure of clinical research studies, including CTIMPs, in particular advanced therapy and other complex studies. They will provide a trial management role and act as point of contact for support services, CROs and sponsors. They will hand over to the specialty research team once trials are open, but may be involved in all aspects of trial coordination and management supporting the clinical research teams throughout the trial process acting as a resource for staff, researchers, research participants and patients.
The CRF Senior Trial Co-ordinator will report to the CRF Operations Manager and will be part of the division of Trust Services, with flexibility to work across the trust and with all clinical divisions. Research studies are delivered within the trust across seven days of the week and throughout 24 hours of each day, and therefore the Post holder should be flexible in their work patterns in order to deliver this service if the studies require.
