Job description

Overview

As a Simulation Technician, you will play a central role in facilitating simulation-based learning activities across healthcare settings. This role demands technical proficiency and a strong commitment to educational excellence, contributing to the design, setup, and delivery of simulation-based activities. Through your work, you will help promote patient safety and support the development of highly skilled healthcare professionals.

Clinical simulation is a training method that uses realistic scenarios, equipment, and environments to help healthcare professionals practice and improve their skills without risking patient safety. It mimics real-life medical situations—like emergencies or routine care—so teams can learn, make decisions, and refine techniques in a safe, controlled setting.

We are seeking a technically adept individual who combines a passion for innovation with a curious and resourceful mindset. The ideal candidate will be motivated to support innovative clinical education through the application of advanced technologies and problem-solving skills.

Responsibilities

• Manage storage, setup, maintenance and operation of sophisticated clinical simulation and AV hardware/software equipment.
• Provide technical and administrative support to simulation-based and other educational activities across UCLH sites.
• Ensure education environments are safe, fully equipped, and function efficiently.
• Provide first-line technical assistance to educators and participants during activities.
• Deliver exceptional customer service and actively contribute to ongoing quality improvement initiatives.
• Support faculty development by training faculty to operate simulation equipment and AV hardware/software.
