The UK arm of one of the largest clinical research organisations, running early-phase and later clinical trial work from Harrow, Uxbridge, Sheffield and other offices.
Parexel helps pharmaceutical and biotech companies run clinical trials, from the first studies in people through to the final stages before approval. Staff include clinical research associates, statisticians, programmers, nurses and doctors.
Parexel's careers pages use the tagline "With Heart" and describe purpose-driven work that keeps patients in mind. A company profile says its mission includes treating patients "with dignity".
The ABPI lists UK sites at Harrow (clinical research and regulatory affairs), Uxbridge (clinical research associates, regulatory and physicians) and Nottingham (support functions). A Built In profile also lists offices in Sheffield, London, North Rode, Belfast and Arun. Parexel has an early-phase clinical unit in Harrow, and job adverts for clinical research nurses appear there.
The careers page describes a compassionate, results-driven culture that values patient care and employee growth. That is the company's own claim, so ask about it at interview.
Early-career routes: the Emerging Talent page lists UK placements in Sheffield for statistical programmer, biostatistician, clinical database programmer and clinical data engineer, aimed at current students and recent graduates. The ABPI also lists a graduate training programme and allied health roles. Hiring opens at different times of year, so check jobs.parexel.com. Parexel warns about fake recruiters, so only use official channels.
