You will have an understanding of key concepts in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, experience of working in undergraduate and postgraduate educational settings, and completion of UK Foundation Training or equivalent. Experience of simulation-based education, digital learning platforms, or the design and delivery of technology-enhanced learning would be advantageous. You will be enthusiastic, adaptable, and motivated to contribute to the development of an ambitious and modern medical curriculum.

What we offer

We are proud to offer a friendly, diverse and supportive working environment in which colleagues are encouraged to thrive and develop.
