How This Role Makes a Difference
Bring clinical research to your community on your schedule. Join the Future of Medicine program at Care Access, where we're bringing clinical research directly into local communities. As a Clinical Research Assistant, PRN, you'll play a key role in delivering life-changing research opportunities to participants but with the flexibility to work when and where it fits your life.
How You'll Make an Impact
In this event-based role, you'll:
• Support participant care and event operations, including phlebotomy, specimen handling, and documentation (paper or electronic). • Help set up and manage clinical research events to ensure they run smoothly, safely, and compliantly. • Be part of a mobile, mission-driven team advancing the future of healthcare access.
This is not your traditional part-time job. It is flexible, purpose-driven work that fits your schedule. You'll opt into local events through our scheduling system and log actual hours worked after each one. Whether you want to pick up one event a month or several a week, you'll be helping make clinical research more accessible for everyone.
