Job overview

**INTERNAL POST ONLY**

We are looking for a motivated individual to join the highly successful Undergraduate Team at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

We are responsible for training approximately 150+ undergraduate medical students from Keele University each year.
The successful applicant should be educated to NVQ Level 3 standard along with experience in a healthcare setting.  It is essential that you have excellent communication and organisational skills and you will be required to work alongside a wide variety of professionals.

You will be required to be flexible in your working hours between 07:30 until 20:00 Monday to Friday to assist with evening sessions and exam preparation. Most of all you must be dedicated to excellent patient care and education.

Main duties of the job

The main part of this role is to support the Practice Education Facilitators, Teaching Fellows and Tutors in clinical skills training and teaching for Keele University medical students as part of the Undergraduate team.

You will also support in the running and organisation of the clinical skills lab. This will include the setting up and tidying away of equipment for teaching sessions, cleaning, maintaining and ordering stock. 

The role will include supporting the teaching of medical students and other healthcare professionals in simulated clinical environments. This ranges from low fidelity skills training to high fidelity real-life emergency scenarios using both actors and sophisticated manikins to simulate high pressure environments. We will provide training in the use of simulation equipment and therefore, a good understanding of IT is necessary.
