Clinical Trial Associate

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their Healthcare career in Birmingham.

Clinical trials underpin every new treatment that reaches patients, and the teams running them need people who can keep dozens of moving parts on track without dropping a single one. This growing healthcare startup runs trial operations for pharmaceutical and biotech sponsors, and it's scaling fast enough that a Clinical Trial Associate joining now will shape how the department works, not just slot into it. Birmingham's life sciences cluster makes this a smart base for that kind of role.

Here's what you'll be doing

Maintaining trial master files and ensuring documentation stays audit-ready at every stage

Coordinating with investigator sites across the UK to track patient recruitment and study milestones

Preparing and reviewing regulatory submissions alongside the clinical operations team

Tracking trial budgets, site payments and supply logistics so nothing stalls a study

Liaising with CROs, sponsors and ethics committees on day-to-day queries

Flagging protocol deviations and helping resolve them before they become bigger problems

Here are the skills you'll need

Some experience in clinical trial administration or a related healthcare setting

Working knowledge of GCP and UK regulatory requirements for clinical research

Sharp attention to detail. Trial documentation leaves no room for guesswork

Comfortable juggling several studies and stakeholders at once

Clear written and verbal communication, especially when explaining process to non-clinical colleagues

A life sciences, nursing or related degree is useful but not essential if the experience is there

Key perks and benefits

Salary of £29,500 to £44,500, depending on experience

Hybrid working, with flexibility on hours around core trial deadlines

Equity in a company that's genuinely growing, not just saying it is

A learning and development budget you're actually encouraged to use

Flat structure. You'll have direct access to senior clinical staff, not layers of middle management

Why pursue a career in Healthcare?

Healthcare keeps expanding regardless of what the wider economy is doing, and clinical trials sit right at the centre of that growth as demand for new treatments rises. A Clinical Trial Associate role gives you a genuine route into clinical operations, project management or regulatory affairs further down the line. Birmingham's mix of hospitals, universities and life sciences employers means the network you build here travels well.
