The Unit employs a multidisciplinary team of over 180 staff including statisticians, systematic reviewers, trial management staff, research nurses, monitors, programmers, administrators, and IT staff. The CRCTU receives substantial core funding from Cancer Research UK and additional funding from other charities, government, and pharmaceutical companies.

The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring central monitoring and on-site monitoring of the CRCTU trials portfolio is performed throughout the UK and other countries, thereby ensuring that a trial is run following the trial protocol and in accordance with current regulatory, ethical and quality standards.  This will include overseeing the day-to-day management of a team of Monitors.  The Senior Monitor will also be actively involved in setting up and managing the monitoring of international trials to the appropriate quality standards.

They will be able to work independently and as part of a team.

Applicants should be prepared to travel both nationally and internationally (on occasion).

The University supports hybrid working where it is feasible, appropriate, following an assessment of the suitability of the role in question, and subject to the individual expressing a desire to work in a hybrid manner. There is an expectation that no-one should spend 100% of their time working away from their work location unless government legislation dictates it.
