This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of the founding team of the new Medical School and to have a central role in the School's accreditation process - come and join our enthusiastic and creative team of medical educators. Our innovative programme aims to produce a new type of doctor - excellent and holistic clinicians who can drive change, delivering integrated and technologically advanced healthcare for their patients and communities.

We are looking for a Lecturer in Medical Education to join the School on a part-time basis (0.5 FTE) at this exciting time.

The role

The successful candidate will focus on delivering high-quality teaching throughout our medical undergraduate curriculum: this will include biomedical science, physiology and general medicine, and specialities. The first year of the course is structured in themes, based around clinical cases, which enables medical students to learn clinically relevant biomedical science, as the foundation to the subsequent years clinical rotations. Subsequent years are based around clinical rotations in specialised themes, with university base days to ensure core content, clinical skills and professionalism learning outcomes are achieved

You will support students in small and large group teaching (including case-based learning), contributing to clinical and communication skills sessions, simulation-based teaching, and eventually also teaching students in other years of the course. We would also expect you to contribute to our admissions process, to standard setting, to writing knowledge tests and OSCEs, and to supporting OSCE examining.

Please note that this role will be offered at either Lecturer A or B level depending on your experience (see job profile below for further details). The full-time equivalent salary range for Lecturer A starts at £37,694 and Lecturer B starts at £47,389 (pro rata for 0.5 FTE).

About you

To join our new School, you'll need to be a forward-looking, collaborative and adaptable individual with a 'can do' attitude and the ambition to drive innovation in medical education. You'll have full registration with the GMC, a higher professional qualification (usually a doctoral degree or equivalent), and may hold a Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy or Academy of Medical Educators.

In addition to these qualifications, you'll have experience of providing high quality teaching and will have good knowledge of medical education principles and practices (including course accreditation, quality assurance processes, and knowledge of the professional requirements of the GMC). Finally, as an excellent communicator, you'll have the ability to use tact, diplomacy, and empathy to build effective working relationships at all levels.
