  • Leading the operational team and further developing a culture of learning and continuous improvement, as well as developing team diversity and inclusion.
  • Line managing the Clinical Operations Managers and the Clinical Data Services Manager, acting as a coach and mentor to aid their development and that of the wider team.
  • You will act as a key link with other Trials Units, Sponsor organisations, the UKCRN and other relevant external organisations/groups and will build key relationships with operational departments of NHSBT, to discuss and encourage collaborative projects to improve NHSBT’s products.
