Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the only UK-wide charity dedicated to uniting for a life unlimited for everyone affected by cystic fibrosis. We're working towards a brighter future for everyone with cystic fibrosis (CF) by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones every step of the way.
 
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). CTAP is a national cystic fibrosis clinical trials network which has created the infrastructure (network of CTAP centres) and funded additional research capacity (trial coordinators) to support NHS Cystic Fibrosis centres to grow their clinical trial portfolio. This in turn has increased the number of clinical trial opportunities for the UK CF community, and improved access to the newest therapies for people living with cystic fibrosis. 
 
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Regional Network Coordinator to join the CTAP coordinating team as maternity cover. The postholder will oversee the coordination of the four CTAP regional clinical trial networks which sit within the main CTAP programme. This role will play an important role in overseeing the smooth running of the CTAP regional networks in addition to providing support and guidance relating to the referral of patients for clinical trial participation. 
 
To be the right candidate, you will:

• Have experience of working within the area of clinical trials in some capacity for the NHS, a university, research funder or a commercial sponsor 
• Have an in-depth understanding of the clinical research landscape, particularly in the context of a national/disease-specific clinical trials network
• Understand the relevant regulations surrounding clinical trials in the UK
• Have strong project management and communication skills

 
We offer a range of benefits including flexible working, 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (this will be pro-rata for part time staff), opportunities for learning and development, pension, healthcare cash plan and more.
 
Closing date for completed applications is midnight on Sunday 3 August 2025
 
In view of the summer holiday period, interviews have been scheduled for Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 September 2025
 
We reserve the right to bring forward or extend the closing date if necessary. Therefore, if you are interested in this role, please submit your application as early as possible.
 
Please note you will need to have the right to work in the UK before starting work with us and we will check this. We do not hold a Home Office Sponsorship Licence and therefore cannot offer visa sponsorship for our roles.

Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Age Well Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our Roehampton Older People service. 

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

Work collaboratively with the Team Leader to identify and support older people at risk of losing independence, promoting recovery and delaying health deterioration. Engage with statutory, voluntary, and independent sectors, as well as residents aged 60+, to optimise local resources and knowledge in service development. Help older residents in Roehampton access health and wellbeing services and build stronger community connections. Contribute to the ongoing development of Age Well services by sharing best practices and participating in provider forums. With support from Hestia's Fundraising Team, explore opportunities for additional funding. Co-produce community-led activities that empower individuals to improve their health and wellbeing, supporting residents to initiate and run local interest-based groups. Recruit and supervise volunteers to enhance programme delivery. Conduct outreach, including home and hospital visits when needed, and explore digital solutions to strengthen service provision. Facilitate peer support through various formats, participate in service evaluations, and help implement participatory evaluation methods.

They should have the knowledge and experience needed to design engaging, relevant services for older people, with a desirable understanding of community development work. A solid understanding of older adults' health needs—including dementia, falls prevention, and social isolation—is critical. The role also requires the ability to build professional relationships across sectors, influence others, manage conflict effectively, and analyse performance data to drive improvements. A thorough understanding of safeguarding issues and the ability to respond appropriately is essential.
