Job description

What if your clinical operations expertise helped new medicines take their first step in human clinical trials?

Fortrea is one of the largest and longest‑established early‑stage clinical research organizations in the world. We operate four Phase I clinical research units globally, including our world‑class Leeds clinic. Just a 7‑minute walk from the train station, it is one of the few MHRA‑accredited Phase I units in the UK. If Fortrea’s Leeds Phase I unit is where life‑saving medicines begin their journey, this job exists to transform complex study plans into safe and coordinated Phase I-Ib clinical delivery.

This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term contract, starting November 2026 role, based on site at Fortrea’s Drapers Yard Clinical Research Unit in Leeds.

  • You will work 37 hours per week, typically Monday to Friday.
  • As with most Phase I clinical research environments, there may be occasional additional hours or weekend work depending on study timelines or clinic needs.
  • Any additional time worked is compensated with flex time, in line with site practice.


In this role you will
As our next Clinical Research Coordinator, you will help multidisciplinary teams stay aligned during study set‑up and live trial activity, acting as the operational link between protocol intent and what actually happens on the clinic floor. In practice, this means you will:

  • Coordinate study set‑up activities from study award through site readiness, supporting the creation, review, and alignment of study documentation, schedules, and operational plans.
  • Act as a central point of coordination during live studies, supporting critical study moments such as participant check‑in, dosing days, and close‑out, and escalating issues as needed.
  • Work closely with principal investigators, clinical, laboratory, pharmacy, and screening teams to ensure activities are delivered in line with approved protocols, SOPs, and timelines.
  • Support study documentation quality and oversight, including protocol review, participant‑facing documents, site files or EC submission packages, ensuring they remain accurate, complete, and audit‑ready.
  • Maintain regular communication with investigators and project teams, providing operational insight and updates throughout the life of a study.


Qualifications/Experience

  • University/college degree in life science, pharmacy or related subject, or certification in a related allied health profession (e.g. nursing).
  • In lieu of a degree, typically 3 years’ experience in a related field will be considered.
  • Typically a minimum of 3 - 4 years experience supporting or coordinating clinical trials. Backgrounds that translate well into this role include: CRAs looking to stop travelling, Study Coordinators, Site-based Clinical Operations roles, etc.
  • Practical knowledge of clinical trial protocols, including an understanding of study objectives, study design, and study procedures, and how these translate into site‑level execution.
  • A solid understanding of the drug development process, with working knowledge of ICH guidelines and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
  • Experience managing multiple studies or workstreams in parallel, remaining organised and effective in a fast‑paced, live clinical research environment.
  • Direct involvement in study set-up and live study activity, contributing to site readiness activities and supporting studies during active clinical conduct.
  • Strong written communication skills in English, particularly when working with clinical documentation and protocol‑driven materials.


If you want a job where your day‑to‑day decisions influence whether new medicines are ready to progress to the next stage of development, apply now to join Fortrea’s Leeds Phase I clinic.
