About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Quality Assurance Manager (QAM) to join the Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO), working in a team of clinical trial management professionals running a varied portfolio of early cancer detection, precision prevention, early phase drug trials and related sub-studies. 

As part of the OCTO Senior Operational Group, the QAM will be involved in the full lifecycle of trials from concept and trial adoption through to reporting and archive.  

Biological sample collection and analysis are key features of OCTO trials. The QAM will provide QA oversight to other teams and laboratories within the Department of Oncology that contribute to OCTO’s portfolio.  The post holder will be expected to contribute to relevant local and national working groups.

On occasion the post holder will be required to visit participating hospitals, collaborating companies, and other providers to conduct audit or monitoring visits, or to resolve other issues as directed by the Trial Management Director.  Visits may include overnight stays and up to a week away for international visits. 

This is a full-time post (or minimum 0.8 FTE worked over no fewer than 4 days).

This is post available for 3 years in the first instance.
