Do you wish to make a difference to research in the NHS? An opportunity has arisen for a Quality Assurance/GCP Manager to join the Research & Innovation Department at Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) NHS Trust. The application deadline for this vacancy has been extended to 16th September.

NUH has identified excellence in research for the benefit of patients as a core component of its corporate vision to be the best acute teaching organisation by 2016.

In order to realise this vision, the Trust has formed a close research partnership with the University of Nottingham (UoN), with a common research strategy and an integrated system of research management and governance. This research partnership has recently been awarded three prestigious National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Units in Gastrointestinal (including Liver) Disease, Respiratory Disease and Deafness and Hearing Problems and has been outstandingly successful in other major NIHR competitions. NUH therefore expects to be at the forefront of innovation in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of ill health and in the translation of advances in basic biomedical research into benefits for patients.

NUH sponsors and hosts a comprehensive portfolio of Clinical Trials of Investigational Medicinal Products (CTIMPs). The Trust aims to develop and maintain robust pharmacovigilance and quality assurance systems in order to ensure patient safety and data quality during the conduct of clinical trials.

As QA/GCP Manager you will develop, implement and maintain systems to assure the quality of clinical research undertaken within Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust in accordance with the prevailing legislative and best practice requirements.
You will play a key role in the co-ordination of working practices and policy implementation to ensure that NUH is at all times compliant with both internal policies and Standard Operating Procedures and external regulatory frameworks.

The QA/GCP manager will also play a key role in preparing for external audits and MHRA inspection.

You will be educated to at least degree level preferably in a related subject area, e.g. a life science or clinical subject, and you will have expert knowledge and understanding of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

You will enjoy working as part of an enthousiastic team in a challenging and multidisciplinary environment and benefit from our robust and extensive R&I Training and Development scheme.
