Hours Per Week: 0.5FTE

The University of Manchester has a rich heritage of discovery, social change and a pioneering spirit, which has been at the heart of what we do since 1824. When you join our university, you become part of a truly diverse and global community of staff, students and alumni all focused on ensuring that we are recognised for the excellence of our people, research, learning and innovation, and for the benefits we bring to society.

We’re a proud Manchester institution and have ambitious plans for our future. At the heart of our vision are our people – a diverse, inclusive community of individuals who work together to create positive change for the world around them.

Research and teaching are the foundation of what we do, but the University relies on a range of roles to help create the exceptional. If you think boldly, act with integrity and celebrate difference, then this could be the place for you.

The School of Medical Sciences (SMS) delivers a successful and innovative undergraduate medical programme to over 3400 students. The programme uses a hybrid teaching and learning approach based on adult learning principles emphasizing experiential learning, subject integration, and reflective practice. In the earlier years of the programme, delivery emphasizes small group learning, reinforced with early clinical experience; later years emphasize learning through clinical placements in the NHS. The successful applicant will be accountable to the Director of Undergraduate Medical Studies, MBChB Programme and will have responsibility for Teaching and Learning for Years 0-5 MBChB Programme. This involves ensuring effective delivery of the programme to all our students in line with the programme specification and the requirements of the GMC. They will be responsible for specifying, developing, and implementing the curriculum working in partnership with the Academic Lead for Programme Developments. They will be supported by the Programme Leadership team, the academic year leads and curriculum component leads. The APD for Teaching & Learning will be a medically qualified practitioner with current GMC registration and current and ongoing clinical practice within one of SMS’s clinical education partners (including General Practice) at consultant or GP level or equivalent of at least 0.2 FTE.
