The role is responsible for ensuring participants understand what is expected of them and addressing any questions or concerns they may have, requiring excellent interpersonal and communication skills. CRCs are responsible for accurate collection and timely entry of data into various program platforms, processing of bio-specimens, scheduling and follow-up communication with participants, longitudinal participant retention, and overall compliance with program procedures. The successful candidate will work closely with coworkers and the clinical team(s) at their assigned site to coordinate and implement program recruitment, enrollment, and retention procedures. 

This is a float position in a Banner Health hospital-setting located in the West Valley of Phoenix. A successful candidate may be asked to travel to other Banner Health facilities (Del E Webb, Boswell, Estrella, etc.) in the Phoenix-West Valley area as needed.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance plans; life insurance and disability programs; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; state and optional retirement plans; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
