Join our network of senior clinical research professionals.

As our work continues to grow, we're expanding our network of senior, experienced independent professionals who can support clinical research projects across the UK — bringing practical, senior-level expertise without the overhead of large consultancy teams.

We'd particularly like to hear from
Senior Clinical Project Managers
Biostatisticians
Data Managers
Regulatory Affairs Specialists
Medical Writers
Quality & Compliance Professionals
Pharmacovigilance Specialists
New — pharmaceutical trials

We're expanding into pharmaceutical trials — pharma experience is now in demand.

Growing sponsor demand means CRS will be supporting pharmaceutical trials as well as medtech going forward. Alongside our medical device specialists, we're now particularly keen to hear from research professionals with experience of trials of medicines — trial managers, monitors, data managers, pharmacovigilance, regulatory and quality specialists who have worked on pharmaceutical studies.

How we work

Much of our work involves supporting sponsors, academic groups and healthcare organisations who need practical, senior-level expertise without the overhead of large consultancy teams. Many deliver significant elements internally and seek trusted advisors for direction, oversight, quality assurance and specialist input at key stages.

We're interested in professionals who…

Have substantial real-world clinical research experience
Can work independently with minimal oversight
Focus on practical solutions rather than unnecessary process
Understand the importance of delivering measurable value
Are commercially aware and sensitive to project budgets
Take ownership of outcomes and deadlines
Build strong, trusted relationships with clients

Our expectations

We place a strong emphasis on integrity, professionalism and transparency. Clients trust us to provide experienced professionals who:

Record time accurately and honestly
Focus on delivering meaningful outputs rather than simply generating activity
Treat client resources as if they were their own
Look for opportunities to improve efficiency without compromising quality
Put the client's best interests at the centre of decision-making

Successful associates tend to be commercially pragmatic, highly experienced and focused on helping sponsors achieve their objectives in the most effective way possible.

Relationships matter

Many of our strongest collaborations begin through professional recommendations.

If you're applying following a referral from a colleague, client or member of our network, please tell us about that connection. We particularly value individuals who have worked successfully with members of our team before and can demonstrate a track record of collaborative, trustworthy delivery.

Initial opportunities

A considered start, built for the long term.

Many new associates begin by supporting smaller internal projects and operational initiatives, allowing both parties to establish a productive working relationship before progressing to larger client-facing assignments. This helps ensure the right fit, shared expectations and successful long-term collaboration.
