Clinical Trial Diversity and Inclusion Lead

Up to £50,250 per year 

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)  

Hybrid working (home and our London Bridge Office) 

What the job involves  

You’ll lead our work to make clinical research more inclusive, increasing the participation of underrepresented communities - initially with a strong focus on recruiting Black men to the TRANSFORM Trial.   

• developing and implementing evidence-led strategies to improve representation, recruitment and participation in our funded trials and research studies 

• acting as our subject matter expert on equitable trial recruitment, embedding equity into research planning and delivery 

• working with trial leads, Black clinicians, community organisations and advocacy groups to understand barriers, build trust and improve participation 

• designing and supporting practical interventions that increase awareness, acceptance of invitations and recruitment of eligible Black men 

• establishing clear measures and reporting processes, using recruitment and engagement data to recommend corrective action 

• building lasting capability through training, knowledge sharing, change management and strategic partnerships with research institutions 

• representing Prostate Cancer UK externally as a trusted voice on diversity and inclusion in clinical research  

What we want from you  

You’ll bring a strong understanding of inclusive patient engagement and the credibility to influence researchers, trial leads and community partners. We’re looking for someone who has: 

• understanding of the UK healthcare system and patient pathways, and how these shape inclusive clinical trial design, recruitment and delivery 

• an understanding of the history of racism in research and how it continues to affect trust and participation among Black communities 

• experience in patient engagement or patient recruitment, particularly with underrepresented groups 

• strong stakeholder-management and influencing skills, including working with senior researchers, trial leads and external partners 

• clear, confident written and verbal communication skills, with the cultural humility to engage diverse audiences and build trust 

• the drive to identify opportunities, use initiative, solve problems and deliver work to a high standard 

• a collaborative and flexible approach, with a clear commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and allyship  

Experience of clinical research or clinical trial recruitment, and a degree in a scientific discipline, would be helpful but are not essential.
