At Abbott, we're committed to helping people live healthier lives through breakthrough technologies and innovative healthcare solutions. As the world leader in glucose monitoring, Abbott Diabetes Care develops products such as FreeStyle Libre, transforming the way people manage diabetes around the world.
We currently have an exciting opportunity for an aspiring Clinical Research Associate (CRA) to join our Clinical Affairs team in Witney. This role is ideal for someone looking to take the next step into clinical research monitoring and build a rewarding career within the medical devices industry.
Working alongside an experienced and supportive team, you will receive mentoring, training, and hands-on experience contributing to clinical studies that support innovative healthcare technologies used globally.
Main Responsibilities
As a Clinical Research Associate, you will support the delivery of clinical studies, helping to ensure they are conducted, documented, and reported in accordance with study protocols, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and applicable regulatory requirements.
You will develop strong relationships with clinical investigators, study sites, and research institutions while supporting study start-up activities, ongoing monitoring, and overall study management.
You will assist with reviewing study documentation, preparing reports and study materials, and supporting the collection and review of safety
information in collaboration with investigators.
Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will help maintain high-quality study conduct, support patient recruitment and retention initiatives, and contribute to site training activities to ensure study teams have a clear understanding of protocol requirements and study procedures.
Throughout the role, you will continue to build your clinical research and monitoring expertise through structured development opportunities and practical experience.
About You

You may be a recent Life Sciences graduate, a Clinical Trial Assistant, Research Nurse, Study Coordinator, or someone who has gained experience supporting clinical studies and is ready to take the next step towards becoming a Clinical Research Associate.
You will have excellent communication and organisational skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to build effective relationships with a variety of stakeholders.
Most importantly, you will be eager to learn, committed to maintaining high-quality standards, and excited by the opportunity to contribute to research that can make a meaningful difference to people's lives.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
