Full time, Wollstonecraft (North Sydney)

Melanoma Institute Australia (MIA) is an independent, non – profit organisation located in North Sydney. MIA is formally affiliated with the University of Sydney and collaborates with individuals at St Vincent’s, Mater Health and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital to improve the outcome for patients with melanoma. Each year around 2,000 new melanoma patients are referred to MIA and approximately 20,000 follow-ups occur. MIA has become a major referral centre for melanoma patients in NSW and overseas.

MIA is seeking an experienced Clinical Trials Coordinator for all aspects of the conduct of designated melanoma clinical trials; to comply with state, national and international regulations and to ensure the rights, safety, and well-being of trial participants are protected and the trial data are credible.

The Clinical Trials Coordinator is integral in delivering clinical trials service to our patients and investigative stakeholders. This role will ensure the day-to-day running of delegated clinical trials in a manner that supports investigators, clinicians, patients and coordinators. There is an expectation that in addition to delegated clinical trials, Coordinators work collegially within the group and provide support to all team members on trials outside of their own ‘portfolio’ of work. This position will cover clinic hours which at times may fall outside of standard business hours.

A confident communicator with exceptional interpersonal skills, you will assist, and liaise closely with, a diverse group of patients, doctors, and key staff across MIA. Due to the nature of the trials, it is essential that you can work efficiently and effectively, and demonstrate excellent time management skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to exercise initiative. Your gentle, supportive and empathetic approach, together with your patience and ability to listen to patients, will be imperative.

Key Selection Criteria:

  • To succeed, preference will be given to being a Registered Nurse with clinical trials experience or tertiary qualification in a health related field.
  • Demonstrated clinical experience looking after patients in a healthcare setting is essential. Experience in an oncology care setting and ability to perform venepuncture is desirable.
  • Excellent administrative skills, attention to detail, patient care coordination and a sound understanding of medical records will be essential, as will strong computer skills in MS Office applications, particularly in Excel and email.
  • Equally important will be your knowledge of the regulatory legislation surrounding clinical trials, ICH-GCP and associated protocols. You will be expected to travel across multiple sites as required.
