Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The CTA Submission Manager coordinates clinical trial application submissions and related regulatory activities in the United Kingdom. Requirements typically include experience in clinical research, regulatory affairs, submission management, or a closely related life-sciences field; familiarity with UK and global health authority requirements; strong project-management and documentation skills; and the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams. The successful candidate is expected to manage submission timelines, maintain accurate records, identify risks, coordinate responses, and ensure work is delivered in accordance with regulations, quality standards, and company procedures. Attention to detail, clear communication, sound judgment, and proficiency with relevant electronic submission or document-management systems are likely to be important.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
