About the role

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Trial Administrator (CTA) to join the Oncology Clinical Trials Office (OCTO), working in a team of trial management professionals, running clinical trials and studies across a varied portfolio of trials.

OCTO is based in the Department of Oncology, University of Oxford. OCTO develops and runs academic clinical trials and studies to the highest standards and is proactive in improving clinical trial procedures. Our trials are concerned with the practical application of high-quality clinical research into innovative and effective cancer therapies, early detection and prevention strategies. Due to the location, you will be required to apply for and obtain an NHS Honorary Contract to carry out this role. There will be the occasional need to travel to participating hospitals or national meetings (approximately twice a year, sometimes with the need for overnight stays).

You will have effective communication and inter-personal skills, including written and spoken English, and sound clerical skills, including word processing. Experience in working on oncology clinical trials in a non-commercial setting would be advantageous.
