Where you'll be working

You will be working within the Endocrinology Department at Royal North Shore Hospital, part of the Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD). The Endocrine Clinical Research Unit supports the coordination, conduct, and delivery of an expanding clinical research portfolio, including both investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored studies. The team is dedicated to advancing research across diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders, pituitary, thyroid, bone and mineral, and endocrine oncology trials.

What you'll be doing

The purpose of the Senior Clinical Trials Coordinator (SCTC) is to coordinate, at any one time, a number of complex international clinical trials (including Endocrinology, Diabetes, Thyroid and Endocrine Cancers, Obesity, Menopause, Bone and Mineral, and Rare Disease trials). The role of the SCTC includes managing the patient caseload for each study, conducting, and coordinating all aspects of study-specific and study-required procedures.

The SCTC is responsible for the recruitment of patients into these studies and for the trial-specific care of patients participating in these studies. The role provides leadership and guidance in all aspects of clinical trial activity and a high level of mentoring of other staff is required. The SCTC is expected to assist, provide guidance to, and supervise medical students and PhD candidates with regards to their research projects.

The position will liaise with the wider research team as required: the NSLHD Research Office, study-specific pharmaceutical and/or research organisation sponsors, Clinical Research Associates and trial monitors, and clinical trial staff at other centres. Liaise with the patient's treating team to ensure quality and continuity of care for patients participating in clinical trials.

People of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background are encouraged to apply.

Candidates will need to meet the following criteria:

• Relevant tertiary qualification/s and/or equivalent experience in the planning, coordination and conducting of industry-sponsored international multi-centre clinical research trials.
• Describe your experience in coordinating clinical trials, including your involvement with Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and Research Governance Office (RGO) submissions. Please include examples of studies you have successfully initiated and managed.
• Provide an example of a complex clinical trial you have independently coordinated from start-up to close-out, including patient recruitment and trial-specific care. How did you manage competing priorities while maintaining compliance with ICH-GCP and ethical requirements?
• Outline your experience in clinical trial budget management, including preparing and tracking study budgets and generating sponsor invoices or quarterly financial reports.
