You will be instrumental in implementing study objectives and will provide dedicated support to ensure that studies are delivered to time and target. You will be the main point of contact for study principal investigators, sponsors and patients and so effective communication and team working skills are essential. You will be involved in ensuring that research undertaken at MFT safeguards the well-being of patients and is undertaken within ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. You will also have opportunities to showcase your work and will always be an ambassador of research at MFT, at internal and external events.

The key focus for this post will be delivering Gynaecology research studies across both St Mary's Hospital and on a mobile van unit across Greater Manchester. You must be willing to travel and be flexible to accommodate the service needs.
