A fantastic opportunity has emerged for a passionate, highly motivated, and dynamic Pharmacy Clinical Trials Officer, to join the Clinical Trial Team ...

You will be responsible for supporting the Clinical Trials team to provide a reliable and efficient pharmacy clinical trials service which meets the needs of our clinical trials patients at ESNEFT and the surrounding areas, sponsors and also the many specialist research teams we work closely with across the Trust.

You will also actively engage with the Clinical Trials Pharmacist(s) to build and expand the clinical trials portfolio whilst ensuring compliance with International Conference on Harmonisation of Good Clinical Practice (ICH GCP), clinical trials regulations, the research governance framework and other relevant guidelines and policies. The post holder will also take a leading role in developing and maintaining computer systems related to clinical trials

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients' own homes.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what's widely regarded as the world's best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
