Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering if you want a low-barrier entry point into the CRO/clinical research industry and are willing to start in a support role. Less attractive if you need strong pay, autonomy, or a clearly remote setup — and the missing description means you should verify duties and location before investing time.

Who should apply

IMGs and international medical graduates seeking a first industry role, nurses or pharmacists wanting to move from ward/community practice into clinical research, allied health professionals with study-site exposure, and healthcare graduates with a life-sciences degree looking for a CRO entry point.

CV angle

Reframe real clinical experience as trial-adjacent operational skill: patient screening and eligibility assessment, informed consent discussions, protocol and SOP adherence, accurate documentation in medical records or EMR systems, adverse event recognition and escalation, and multi-disciplinary coordination. Emphasise attention to detail, deadline management across concurrent tasks, and familiarity with regulated documentation — without claiming CRO or monitoring experience you do not have.

Skills to highlight

  • Clinical documentation accuracy
  • Protocol and SOP adherence
  • Patient screening and eligibility assessment
  • Informed consent process familiarity
  • Adverse event recognition and escalation
  • EMR / data entry systems proficiency
  • Multi-stakeholder coordination
  • Attention to detail under regulatory scrutiny

Role summary

A junior clinical research support role at IQVIA, a large global contract research organisation. Clinical Trials Assistants typically help with study documentation, regulatory and trial master file upkeep, data entry and query resolution, site communications, and general study coordination under the direction of a Clinical Trial Manager or CRA. No direct patient care is involved.
