About the role

We are seeking a Quality Assurance Associate to join an expanding team involved in setting up and managing clinical trials that are being conducted at the Oxford Respiratory Trials Unit (ORTU).

Our remit is the delivery of randomised practice changing clinical trials, and some novel respiratory drug development work.  Our portfolio includes Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs), medical device trials, cohort and epidemiological studies, covering pleural and airways diseases,  respiratory sleep and breathing disorders and lung imaging studies. ORTU also collects, stores and uses human tissue samples for research purposes.

This is an important post contributing to Quality Assurance of clinical research conducted in ORTU, including governance of stored human tissue samples. Working as part of the multi-disciplinary team in ORTU you will enhance local Standard Operating Procedures, help to share best practice, identify risks and mitigation strategies.

It is essential that you are educated to degree level or hold equivalent relevant experience in a similar field. You must be highly organised and have excellent attention to detail. You must be able to work well as a member of a team and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Experience working in a similar role and having an understanding of Good Clinical Practice and the regulations and guidelines applicable to clinical trials and the Human Tissue Act in the UK would be desirable but not essential.
