Example trial management job descriptions
This resource was developed by the UKCRC Registered CTU Network Trial Management Operational Group
It is no secret that there is great disparity in the way in which roles within trial management are described by institutions across the UK, and the responsibilities which are held by those roles. This disparity can make it difficult to identify areas for development and progression.
This resource has been developed in order to provide examples of job descriptions within the trial management profession, which have been anonymised for generalisability. We hope that by providing a range of job descriptions, our members will be able to identify areas for development to progress to the next level, or develop their skills within their current role.
