Internal Applicants Only – Site Co-ordinator

School of Medicine
College of Biomedical and Life Sciences
An exciting position has arisen for a Site Coordinator to join the Division of Psychological Medicine & Clinical Neurosciences at Cardiff University, based in Cardiff University’s flagship Hadyn Ellis Building.
We are seeking a motivated and highly organised Site Coordinator to support the delivery of the Mental Health Goals (MHG) Omics Psychosis programme within the Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics at Cardiff University. Working closely with the Programme Manager and clinical teams, you will coordinate research activity across participating NHS and academic sites, ensuring high-quality, efficient and compliant delivery of study procedures.
In this role, you will oversee local implementation of biosampling protocols, support staff training, and maintain robust systems for participant recruitment, biosampling, and data collection. You will build effective relationships with key stakeholders across Cardiff University, NHS organisations, and external collaborators, providing clear guidance on site processes and troubleshooting operational issues as they arise. The post would suit someone with substantial experience of research or project coordination (ideally in mental health or health research), excellent communication skills, and a proactive, problem-solving approach.
The Mental Health Goals (MHG) Omics programme is a landmark UK-wide initiative, funded by the UK Government, aiming to revolutionise our understanding and treatment of severe mental illness. Building on significant advances in genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and digital health, the project will establish the world’s largest multi-omic cohort of people with psychosis and mood disorders, linked to extensive clinical and real-world health data. This new national infrastructure, developed in close collaboration with individuals with lived experience, the NHS, academia, and industry, will accelerate the discovery of biological mechanisms, identify biomarkers for personalised treatments, and make the UK an attractive place globally for mental health innovation. Led by a collaborative, friendly, and highly expert team spanning Cardiff University, the University of Cambridge, Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, the University of Edinburgh, and King’s College London, MHG Omics offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a truly pioneering programme with the potential to change lives and shape the future of mental healthcare.
This post is based at the Hadyn Ellis Building, Cathays campus.
This role is eligible to be offered on a blended working basis, meaning that as well as spending time working on campus you can also choose to spend some time working from another location, e.g. your home. The University is committed to offering this flexibility, wherever the role and business need allows, supporting work-life balance.
Cardiff University offers many excellent benefits, including 45 days annual leave (incl bank holidays), local pension scheme, a cycle to work scheme and other travel initiatives, annual increments within the pay scale, and more. It is an exciting and vibrant place to work, with many different challenges and is a proud Living Wage supporter.
How we will support you in performing in this role –
There are some things that you must have before you can start this role (see ‘Essential Criteria’), but other things can be developed either through training, or just by general on-the-job experience. We want to support and develop you once you have started in the role using a combination of the following to get the best out of you:
1. Regular one-to-ones with your manager
2. An experienced and supportive team around you
3. Supporting you through job-relevant training and development that you may require
4. A mentoring scheme
