This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, collaborative team in a part-time, flexible role, offering genuine work-life balance while contributing to meaningful healthcare innovation.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Supporting the design and delivery of clinical research studies and validation projects.
  • Preparing research protocols, ethics submissions, and study documentation.
  • Coordinating clinical studies, including participant recruitment and study management.
  • Organising and preparing research data for analysis.

  • High attention to detail and a commitment to scientific integrity and patient safety.
Previous experience within a start-up or digital health environment would be an advantage but is not essential.
