About The Role.
Somerset NHS Foundation Trust is seeking an experienced and highly capable Clinical Trials Manager to lead the management and delivery of our Trust-sponsored and investigator-led clinical trials portfolio.
This is a senior operational role with responsibility for the end-to-end management of sponsored studies, including both CTIMPs and non-CTIMPs, across a range of clinical specialties and research themes.

You will play a central role in strengthening the Trust's capacity as a research sponsor, ensuring that studies are delivered to the highest standards of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), regulatory compliance and scientific quality.
