Clinical Research Associate (CRA I / II) – Dedicated Single-Sponsor Model
CCS Global are currently partnered with a global leader in the Pharmaceutical industry to appoint several CRA I and CRA II level professionals across the UK.
This is an opportunity to move away from the traditional multi-sponsor CRO environment and move into a Single-Sponsor partnership. You will be fully integrated into the clinical operations of a premier pharma business, working as a specialist on their specific pipeline.
The Locations
These roles are home-based with a travel remit. We are specifically looking for candidates based in:
- The Midlands
- North / North West
- London & The South
Why Choose This Model?
- Operational Alignment: Unlike the multi-sponsor model, you will work within one core operating model. This means one set of SOPs, one CTMS, and one culture, allowing you to focus on quality monitoring rather than administrative complexity.
- Career Trajectory: This partnership is known for its internal progression. We focus on long-term development, with structured pathways for CRA Is to move into CRA II and Senior positions.
- Retention & Culture: By being embedded with one sponsor, you gain a sense of belonging and stability often missing in CRO roles. This reflects in our high retention rates and a more manageable site-visit balance.
- Leading Science: You will be at the forefront of the sponsor’s core therapeutic areas, gaining deep-dive experience in innovative trials that are shaping the future of patient care.
The Requirements
- Experience: Proven independent monitoring experience within the UK (CRA I: 6-12 months | CRA II: 18+ months).
- Regulatory Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of ICH-GCP and UK regulatory frameworks.
- Communication: Ability to act as the primary point of contact for sites, managing relationships with high-level PIs.
- Education: Degree in Life Sciences or a Nursing equivalent.
- Travel: Ability to travel to sites regionally; full UK driving licence is essential.
Benefits include competitive salary, car or car allowance, bonus, pension and private healthcare plus additional add on options.
