University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role
Are you passionate about education and development within the operating theatre environment? Do you have extensive theatre experience and a desire to shape the next generation of theatre professionals? If so, we want to hear from you!
We are looking for a dedicated and dynamic Clinical Practice Facilitator to join our small, friendly education team within Women’s Health. Your primary focus will be supporting Gynae, Breast, and Maternity Theatres. This is a unique opportunity to combine your clinical expertise and teaching skills to enhance patient care while fostering the growth and development of our theatre team.
This varied and engaging role is crucial in ensuring that staff are equipped with the skills and knowledge to deliver an excellent patient experience at every stage of care. To succeed, you will need leadership abilities, innovative thinking, and the flexibility to adapt to service needs.
We require candidates to hold a recognised teaching or mentorship qualification and have substantial experience within the theatre setting. Knowledge of Women’s Health is desirable but not essential.
Experience in supporting junior staff and students as a practice supervisor or assessor would be an advantage.
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHSwe’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
