Research Team Recruiter

Description

The team recruits healthy volunteers for Phase I research studies. The company has supported 50 of the top pharmaceutical companies, more than 750 biotechs and 2,700 clinical trials across 100+ countries over the past 5 years.

As the research team recruiter, you find and enrol volunteers for Phase I studies, and you give the informed consent session when the Principal Investigator delegates it to you.

Responsibilities

• Prepare every required form and record, including source documents, lab requisitions, clinical labels and physical paperwork, so that each protocol's inclusion and exclusion criteria are captured accurately.
• Review each protocol for its study-specific inclusion and exclusion details. Flag gaps and discuss them with the Team Leader and Project Manager until the criteria are clear.
• Plan screenings and physicals by deciding how many to hold and when, based on team and staffing needs. Tell the Senior Research Technician staff the screening times so they can cover the procedures.
• Arrive 15 minutes before each screening with complete paperwork for the number of participants expected.
• Read the latest approved Informed Consent aloud while volunteers follow their own copies.
• Confirm that each screened person has been consented, has signed the form and has had all questions answered before any procedure or further screening step.
• Make sure every participant's paperwork is complete and accurately reflects their screening. Keep all subject and screening-failure records with the study to meet FDA requirements.
• Have a physician review clinical labs, ECGs and other tests where required.
• Build screening tools and source documents that check every inclusion and exclusion criterion, such as medical history, physical exam, demographics, admission, alcohol and tobacco use, screening log, sign-in sheet and volunteer tracking forms. Check the computerized phone-screening tool for accuracy.
