• Practical experience supporting clinical learning spaces, simulation environments, equipment and resources, with proficiency in Microsoft 365 and a willingness to learn new technologies.
• Experience supporting Nursing, Midwifery or other Health discipline simulation activities is highly regarded.
• A current driver's licence is desirable.
