Clinical research is an essential element in ensuring new treatments are rapidly and safely translated to clinical use to transform the lives of people with cystic fibrosis. Nine years ago, the Trust set up an ambitious programme of work to broaden the reach of trials to all people with cystic fibrosis in the UK, the Clinical Trials Accelerator Platform (CTAP).

The postholder will oversee the coordination of the four CTAP regional clinical trial networks which sit within the main CTAP programme.

• Have an in-depth understanding of the clinical research landscape, particularly in the context of a national/disease-specific clinical trials network

• Have strong project management and communication skills
