Consulting Clinician
Job Description
The Opportunity
We are partnering with a global organisation specialising in cognitive and clinical assessment within pharmaceutical clinical trials to expand its international network of consulting clinicians.
This is an opportunity to use your clinical expertise outside of traditional practice, contributing to global clinical research while maintaining the flexibility of a fully remote, low-hours consulting engagement.
You will support ongoing studies through the remote administration and review of clinical assessments, with a particular focus on MADRS and HAM-A.
The organisation works internationally across clinical research and provides consultants with fully compensated study-specific training, ongoing supervision and regular clinical recalibration.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Remotely administer semi-structured clinical interviews and assessments to study participants.
- Administer and review MADRS assessments.
- Deliver computerized and traditional assessments through a telehealth platform.
- Score completed scale administrations.
- Participate in regular clinical skill recalibration.
- Review completed assessments to support accuracy and consistency in administration and scoring.
- Review response forms and recordings of remote administrations.
- Provide feedback to other raters where required.
What We’re Looking For: The key requirement for this opportunity is hands-on scale administration experience.
Candidates should have:
- Direct MADRS administration experience
- Experience with MADRS using SIGMA
- HAM-A experience
- Experience conducting interviews and/or administering assessments to patients with depression
- Formal training in clinical interviewing and assessment
- At least 2 years’ relevant clinical interviewing and psychological assessment experience within a clinical, academic or clinical research setting
- Experience assessing neurological and/or psychiatric populations
- English fluency
Relevant educational backgrounds can include MD, DO, MBBS, PhD/PsyD in Psychology, RN, APRN, PA, or MA/MS/MSW in Psychiatry.
Why Consider It?
The role offers the chance to contribute to international pharmaceutical clinical research without stepping away from your existing clinical or academic work.
With approximately 10 hours per month, fully remote delivery and an as-needed schedule, it could suit an experienced clinician looking to apply their assessment expertise to clinical trials alongside their current commitments.

Fraud Alert
Candidate safety is a top priority at Planet Pharma. The industry has seen an increase in people falsely representing themselves as recruiters to gather personal information from job seekers. For your safety, do not provide sensitive data to anyone you have not spoken with thoroughly, never provide banking information during the application process and always double check the email address of the Recruiter to ensure it’s from an official Planet Pharma domain (@planet-pharma.com, @planet-pharma.co.uk, and @ppgadvisorypartners.com) and not a domain with an alternative extension like .net, .org or .jobs.
