Would you like to join a team at the heart of delivering student education? Are you an enthusiastic and motivated healthcare professional with an interest in education who could contribute to the development of future healthcare professionals through the provision of high quality clinical skills teaching and assessment? 

We are looking for a motivated professional who possess both relevant clinical and teaching experience. You will be involved in organising and delivering teaching and simulation for students and staff in a range of clinical skills. You will develop new workshops and create innovative ways of learning to allow students to develop high levels of competence and confidence in a safe, risk free environment. You will also take part in assessment and feedback on students’ clinical skills and have a major involvement in the Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), including organisation and examining. Clinical Skills teaching complements the students’ academic learning, supporting both theoretical and clinical work. Students strongly value this teaching and view the professional experience and guidance as essential for their development and future success. 

You will need to demonstrate effective communication skills, be able to relate well to students and possess the ability to work both independently and within a small team. You will be an enthusiastic and highly motivated qualified healthcare professional, (e.g. nurse, doctor) with extensive experience in a clinical setting involving recent clinical contact with patients.
