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 (Registered Nurse), 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. 

  • Clinical & Participant Care: Perform venipuncture and capillary collections (as applicable) while maintaining aseptic technique and participant comfort.

Communicate clearly and promptly escalate any safety or quality concerns to onsite leadership. 
  • Study Operations & Data Management: Accurately document all procedures and results in approved systems (e-source, logs, etc.) according to ALCOA-C++ and ensure regulatory compliance (GxP, HIPAA). Follow established SOPs to help keep each event audit-ready and compliant.

The Expertise Required

  • Clinical Expertise: Proficiency in venipuncture and specimen handling best practices, with strong attention to labeling, documentation, and chain-of-custody integrity. 
  • Participant Care: Clear, compassionate communication skills and professionalism when engaging with participants and community partners. 
  • Tech Readiness: Comfort using mobile apps and e-source tools for real-time logging and documentation. 
  • Dependability & Adaptability: Reliable, punctual, and team-oriented — able to thrive in dynamic event environments and work independently under event-day guidance. 
  • Mission Mindset (optional addition): Motivated by bringing clinical research to local communities and expanding access to the future of medicine. 

Certifications/Licenses, Education, and Experience

  • Experience: Minimum of 1 year performing phlebotomy and specimen handling activities.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
