Clinical Lead - Digital Health

Our Future Health is building a research programme at scale, alongside services that connect participants with health research. We’re looking for a registered healthcare professional with a current licence to practise in the UK to join us as Clinical Lead and provide senior clinical leadership across participant-facing research and digital health.

You’ll help ensure our activities are safe, clear and workable for participants and the teams delivering them. That means assessing clinical risks, reviewing participant information and turning clinical requirements into practical processes. You’ll work closely with colleagues across clinical operations, research, science, product and data protection, making sound decisions even when the evidence or organisational responsibilities are still evolving.

A key part of the role will be supporting the growth of our Clinical Research Recruitment Service (CRRS). As more studies run in parallel, you’ll help build proportionate clinical review and escalation processes that support safe, efficient delivery. Your contribution will strengthen the service’s clinical capacity and help it grow sustainably.

What you’ll do

• Provide independent clinical judgement and advice on participant-facing research and digital health activities.
• Assess clinical risk, participant safety, health information disclosure and the boundary between research and care.
• Review participant-facing information and materials for clinical accuracy, clarity and appropriateness.
• Develop and apply proportionate clinical review processes, thresholds and escalation criteria.
• Advise on participant support requirements and appropriate responses to clinical concerns.
• Review safety signals and significant clinical issues arising during delivery, escalating material risks through the right governance routes.
• Translate clinical and research requirements into clear operational processes that teams can use.
• Work with clinical operations, research, science, product and data protection colleagues to improve participant-facing services.
• Contribute clinical expertise to the ongoing development of CRRS and other digital health activities.

Requirements

• Significant experience in clinical research or clinical trials, including participant-facing study delivery.

• Strong knowledge of Good Clinical Practice, UK research ethics and governance, clinical governance and participant safety.
• Experience assessing clinical risk and communicating complex or sensitive health information appropriately.
• The ability to turn clinical and research requirements into practical ways of working.
• Experience working across multidisciplinary teams and influencing without formal authority.
• A pragmatic, collaborative approach, balancing participant safety, research objectives and operational needs.
• The confidence to work independently where evidence, precedent or responsibilities are still developing.
• Strong organisation and responsiveness, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.

Experience in clinical informatics, digital health or health technology would be particularly valuable. A relevant Master’s degree, PhD or equivalent postgraduate qualification is also desirable.

Closing date for applications: 9am, 26th November.
