UKTMN Administrator (Fixed term)

This post is an exciting opportunity to join the coordinating centre for the UK Trial Managers’ Network (UKTMN), a thriving network of trial management professionals who have responsibility of managing public-funded clinical research in the UK. The UKTMN facilitate the development of a well-trained, highly motivated, effective workforce of trial managers within the UK health care system who make an important contribution to the efficient delivery of high-quality clinical trials. A trial management professional is someone who has responsibility for the day-to-day management of a clinical trial. We provide support and resources for those at all levels of experience and varying roles. The UKTMN provides training, online resources, webinars, and events for its members (trial management professionals). We also work in collaboration with trial networks and groups on national initiatives to further benefit our members. Working alongside the UKTMN Manager, you will support the day-to-day operations of UKTMN and provide efficient and responsive administrative support to the UKTMN members, UKTMN Executive Group, Independent Advisory Group, and external stakeholders. You will have strong communication skills, demonstrable planning and organisation skills, and the ability to prioritise workload. Previous experience in a busy, administrative role is essential. The UKTMN is hosted by the Nottingham Clinical Trials Unit (NCTU), a rapidly growing academic unit within the University of Nottingham that supports clinical trials within the University and local NHS trust. Working within the NCTU provides a valuable insight into the multidisciplinary research environment. This is a fixed-term opportunity available until December 31, 2027. Hours of work are full-time (36.25 hours per week); however, applications are also welcome from candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 29 hours per week). Please specify in your application if you wish to work part-time and the number of preferred hours. Job share arrangements may be considered. Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role. Our university is a supportive, inclusive, caring and positive community. We welcome those of different cultures, ethnicities and beliefs – indeed this very diversity is vital to our success, it is fundamental to our values and enriches life on campus.
