Clinical Research Associate I & II | Leading FSP | 6+ Openings across 3 Single-Sponsor Teams
Location: United Kingdom (Home-based with regional travel)
Position: CRA I (Minimum 6 months independent monitoring experience) & CRA II (12–18 months independent monitoring experience)
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent or part time considered ( 0.8 FTE)
About the Opportunity
We are currently partnering with a globally recognised Functional Service Provider to recruit six Clinical Research Associates across both CRA I and CRA II levels.
Unlike traditional CRO models that often demand high-volume metrics, this FSP prioritises a qualitative approach to site management. You will be fully embedded into one of three dedicated single-sponsor teams, allowing you to focus deeply on a specific pipeline rather than juggling conflicting priorities across multiple thin accounts.
Why This Model is Different
- Quality Over Volume: The operational framework is designed to prevent burnout. Focus is placed on thorough, high-quality site relationships and meticulous data oversight rather than hitting a high volume of rushed visits.
- Dedicated Single-Sponsor Teams: You will work exclusively within one sponsor pipeline. This provides the stability and integration of working directly for a major pharmaceutical partner, backed by the infrastructure and career development of a top-tier FSP.
- Leading Site Approach: You will be trusted to manage your sites autonomously, acting as the primary point of contact and driving engagement through a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach.
- Structured Training: For CRA I candidates making their first career step, or CRA IIs looking to solidify their expertise, the onboarding and continuous professional development programmes are highly structured and tailored to your experience level.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct the full cycle of site monitoring visits (qualification, initiation, routine monitoring, and close-out) in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines, sponsor SOPs, and UK regulatory requirements.
- Manage site performance, ensuring data integrity, patient safety, and protocol compliance.
- Act as the main bridge between the sponsor and the investigative sites, resolving complex queries efficiently.
- Maintain accurate and timely trip reports and follow-up correspondence within required timelines.
What We Are Looking For
- For CRA I: A minimum of 6 months of independent, hands-on monitoring experience within the UK (including on-site or robust remote monitoring of data and regulatory binders).
- For CRA II: Between 12 to 18 months of independent UK monitoring experience, demonstrating strong site management skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex study issues.
- A life sciences degree (or equivalent nursing/medical qualification).
- Thorough working knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines and UK clinical trial regulations.
- A valid UK driving licence and the willingness to travel to sites regionally.
