CRF Laboratory Technician | The Christie NHS Foundation Trust
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust - Manchester
£25,760 - £27,476 Pro Rate, Per Annum
PermanentFull time
The CRF Laboratory performs pre-analytical procedures on an array of biological samples for approximately 100 clinical trial visits per week, working on translational biomarker studies, the newest therapeutic agent trials, and existing later-phase clinical trials. These samples are subsequently stored, then shipped to central laboratories around the world. As part of the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines that underpin clinical trials worldwide, it is also vital that every step of this process is recorded and tracked. As a result of these requirements, the CRF Laboratory is central to clinical nursing staff on the CRF and in research, non-clinical research support staff, and external pharmaceutical companies. The CRF Laboratory is a pre-analytical lab only and does not undertake blood tests or handle blood results. There are no Biomedical Scientists, and no scope for IBMS Portfolio work. The post is a full-time (37.5 hours per week), permanent position. The job is fast-paced and varied, with a balance of hands-on technical work and administrative work, and represents a great opportunity to build-on and use existing practical laboratory experience, and gain wider experience of how clinical trials are set-up and operate. The main roles of the CRF Laboratory Technician are: - Following technical protocols to undertake pre-analytical preparation of biological samples (i.e. centrifugation and pipetting, PBMC isolation). - Completing and maintaining crucial source documents alongside the practical undertaking. - Prioritising and managing workflow in a fast, changeable environment. - Identifying and troubleshooting any errors in this trial process. - Providing support and advice to research staff where required. This role would suit a candidate with good technical ability, good customer service/communication skills, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to multi-task and work under pressure. The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, looking after more than 64,000 patients a year.
