Overview
A Commercial Research Delivery Centre (CRDC) Network is being established to coordinate activities across a UK network of CRDCs, providing national leadership, alignment and strategic engagement, and enhancing the capacity and efficiency of commercial research delivery across the centres. This Network, engaging and coordinating all CRDCs across the UK, will be hosted and led by Leicester Hospitals NHS Trust. You will join us as at the beginning as we establish this UK-leading, person-centred Network, ensuring equitable access, diverse recruitment, and efficient, gold-standard, aligned trial delivery. We will prioritise improving NHS and patient access to trials and accelerating approval of innovations, working closely with the devolved nations and existing national NIHR and commercial clinical trials infrastructure. Network activities will be organised into Nine Themes overseen by a matrix of CRDC Directors and specialists drawn from the Network. Activities will be led and coordinated by the Network Operational Management Team led by the Network Operational Director. The role of CRDC UK Network Business and System Administrator will support the Network Senior Management Team, Operational Management Team, Business Development Coordinator, core staff and Co-Theme Leads in delivering the Network to time and targets.

Role context and environment
As a new role you will have the opportunity to develop alongside a small team, with experienced leadership, in an exciting and fast-paced research environment. Working predominantly remotely, you will work with minimal supervision and the ability to manage your own time and workload will be crucial. You will have a collaborative attitude and work flexibly under pressure whilst maintaining accuracy and attention to detail.

Please submit your application form without delay to avoid disappointment; we will close vacancies prior to the publishing closing date if we receive a sufficient number of completed application forms.
