Full time: 35 hours per week

Fixed term: for 46 months

The opportunity:

We seek an organised, motivated Trial Co-ordinator for the LACunar Intervention Trial 3 (LACI-3), starting spring 2025, that aims to improve outcomes after small vessel stroke, funded by NIHR. LACI-3 is the largest and only Phase 3 trial in small vessel (lacunar) stroke in the world. Small vessel stroke is a major cause of vascular cognitive impairment and currently there is no effective treatment.

As the Trial Co-Ordinator for the LACunar Intervention Trial 3 (LACI-3) you will be responsible for following up trial participants by phone and post up to 18 months, assessing cognitive function, recurrent stroke and activities of daily living amongst other factors. Your role will be crucial to ensure high-quality, complete and successful data collection for this high-profile trial.

You will work closely with the LACI-3 Trial Manager, Chief Investigator, and implementation teams at the Universities of Edinburgh and Nottingham, the Investigator Group and Site teams. You will also help the Trial Manager and Trial Team with other activities, as appropriate to the stage of LACI-3, such as site set up, organising investigator meetings, maintaining up to date accurate trial records, and preparing various reports on LACI-3’s progress. 

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we may consider part-time or flexible working patterns. The post is primarily office based, but we may consider requests for a mix of office and home (hybrid) working (on a non-contractual basis). 

The salary for this post is UE06 - £33,882 to £39,105 per annum.

Your skills and attributes for success: 

• You will hold a degree in nursing, a relevant science subject and have experience in clinical trials research;
• You will have excellent spoken and written communication skills, and data entry skills;
• You will have experience of conducting patient assessments and interviews by telephone;
• You will demonstrate flexibility so as to accommodate patient follow-ups in a timely fashion.
• You will have up to date knowledge of research ethics and R&D principles, and of Good Clinical Practice with an up-to-date GCP certificate.
