It suits someone with at least five years of CRA experience who has worked in psychiatry and can manage sites with little supervision.

What you will do

• Training sites to collect data properly and report potential safety-related events
• Managing site activities during study maintenance
• Closing down research activities at sites once the study has concluded
• Conducting study initiation visits (SIVs)

Most site management is performed remotely, but you will need to ensure compliance with obtaining informed consent, reporting potential safety-related events, and following all applicable regulatory requirements.

• A 4-year university degree or a nursing degree
• Experience in Psychiatry

Pay
