Have you ever wanted to see a clinical trial happen in real time?

This is not monitoring from a distance. At Fortrea Clinical Pharmacology Services in Leeds, CRAs are on site, in the flow of the study, when it matters most.

You see dosing days . You walk the clinic floor. You review data as it is generated, not months later. It is a different way to work as a CRA.

It all happens inside a world-class 100-bed, 65,000 ft² Clinical Research Unit, only 7 minutes from the train station, where life‑saving medicines begin their journey.

We are currently hiring a CRA II to support Phase I–Ib studies. This is:

Full‑time, permanent job.
Ideally, you live in Yorkshire or within driving distance of our Drapers Yard Clinical Research Unit.

WHY A CAREER IN EARLY CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT AT FORTREA?

Involved in studies even before they are won (i.e., participating at BID meetings), you will:

Show full description

Be on-site for the moments sponsors travel the world to witness.

This includes first-in-human dosing days, when you review eligibility, observe dosing and safety procedures in real time, and see decisions unfold as the study begins.

You will also follow PK samples into the lab, and work side by side with clinic, pharmacy, and lab teams during the most critical moments of the study.

Rarely work alone.

Studies are often monitored alongside another CRA, and during busy periods you will find several colleagues on site at the same time.

The Leeds Clinical Research Unit gives you the option to work from the office, collaborate face to face, and build real working relationships with CRAs, CTLs, and clinical teams. You will be part of a global team, closely interacting with our other US Clinics/CRAs.

Modern systems. Higher‑value CRA work

Our clinical systems are built for modern monitoring including remote monitoring. Integrated eSource and EDC reduce mechanical SDV and allow CRAs to focus on data integrity, protocol compliance, and study quality.

The result is higher‑value work, closer to science, and with less administrative burden.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Monitor Phase I–Ib studies across Fortrea CRU and selected UK sites
Perform Process Monitoring, Pre-Study, Site Initiation, Routine Monitoring, and Close‑out visits
Review source data, protocol compliance, and data quality using modern eSource and EDC systems
Collaborate closely with clinical, lab, and project teams during fast‑paced study timelines

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

CRA II: minimum 2 years independent site management monitoring experience (including Pre-study, Site Initiation, Process Monitoring, Routine Monitoring and Close-Out Visits) according to monitoring plan requirements, SOPs and ICH GCP guidelines
Have an understanding of SAE reporting, process production, narratives and follow up of SAEs

A life science degree or nursing qualification.
You must be independently eligible to work in the UK.

WHAT WE OFFER

Salary aligned to level plus (£6,000) car allowance
Flexible working arrangements
Exposure to early‑phase science that accelerates CRA development
A collaborative team environment based in a modern Leeds CRU
Access to innovative clinical trials technology
Remote working when not monitoring

Join Fortrea and be part of the stage where medicines are proven safe for the first time.
