Key duties include:
- To be the pharmacovigilance contact on specified clinical trials sponsored by the CDD.

- Prioritise and manage individual workload to ensure regulatory and business partner timelines are adhered to for the reporting of safety data.
- Assess safety cases for seriousness and expectedness and identify SUSARs.
- Enter safety cases on to the safety database as per guidelines.
- Report all SUSARs to the Competent Authorities, relevant Ethics Committees and trial Investigators within the required timelines.
- Review cases and request follow-up information when required.
- Contribute to and author DSURs as required, including writing, reviewing and submission within regulatory timelines.
- Contribute to the ongoing safety evaluation process for the identification of safety risks.
- Assist in review of clinical trial documentation including protocols, Investigator's Brochures and informed consent documentation.
- Provide PV support in safety data reconciliation with the clinical database.
- Maintain awareness of pharmacovigilance regulatory requirements and developments.
What skills are we looking for?
- Biological sciences degree or equivalent qualification/experience.

- Working knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable legislation.
- Experience entering data into a safety database, including MedDRA coding.
- Excellent planning and organisation skills.

- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
- Ability to maintain rigorous adherence to written procedures e.g. SOPs.
