"Trial Coordinator"

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated Trial Coordinator who shares our passion for advancing cancer prevention research to join The Cancer Research UK Cancer Prevention Trials Unit (CPTU) at Queen Mary University of London. Your primary project will be the GP-TEST-PRO trial (Modernising General Practice TESTing for the detection of clinically significant PROstate cancer).  Funded by the NIHR, the overall aim is to evaluate the performance of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), bpMRI (Biparametric MRI), and PRS (Polygenic Risk Score) for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in symptomatic men presenting in primary care.

Working with the Trial Manager, you will support with the delivery of all aspects of day-to-day coordination and take the lead on data management and monitoring activities.

About You

You will be a detail-oriented and motivated professional looking to provide hands-on coordination support to the management of clinical trials. Previous experience in clinical trial coordination, especially data management will be a significant asset. Your effective communication skills, both written and verbal, will enable you to collaborate seamlessly with interdisciplinary team members and external stakeholders and your keen attention to detail will be instrumental in maintaining the integrity of trial documentation.
