We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Trial Administrator (CTA) to join the Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO), working in a team of trial management professionals, running clinical trials and studies across a varied portfolio of trials. The post holder will be responsible for a range of activities required in the day-to-day running of trials. CTAs will usually work on 1-3 trials, offering the opportunity to be involved in and learn about a wide range of clinical trial management activities.

OCTO is based in the Department of Oncology, University of Oxford. OCTO develops and runs academic clinical trials and studies to the highest standards and is proactive in improving clinical trial procedures. Our trials are concerned with the practical application of high-quality clinical research into innovative and effective cancer therapies, early detection and prevention strategies.

The post is based in Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO), Level 2, Cancer & Haematology Department, Churchill Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7LE, and are offered on a fixed-term contract for 2 years in the first instance.

You will be educated to at least A-level in a biomedical or associated subject (or other relevant qualification) and have previous experience in a clinical research setting, with knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and the role of UK clinical research bodies (e.g. HRA, MHRA, NIHR).

You will have effective communication and inter-personal skills, including written and spoken English, and sound clerical skills, including word processing. Experience of working on oncology clinical trials in a non-commercial setting would be advantageous.
