The Education Academy within Barts Health is expanding in response to the need with increasing numbers of students and trainees and commitment to offer the best educational experience for our trainees.
There is a real need to ensure that students receive excellent tuition and that trainees have the best possible educational supervision. In line with our Education Strategy, we intend to improve education by building an Education Fellow faculty base made up of Specialty Teaching Fellows who contribute to both undergraduate and postgraduate training, and support Inter-professional Innovations.
Main duties of the job
The successful post holder for this post will be involved primarily with developing educational opportunities for undergraduate medical students through a wide range of teaching modalities including simulation based training, clinical skills, lectures, teaching clinics, and bedside teaching. The post holder will have the opportunity to work across sites with other education fellows supporting activity at our other centres and will support the delivery of Simulation based training opportunities to other specialties and support the distributive simulation agenda.
All fellows joining our team will be invited to join our Education Forum where fellows have access to a structured development programme. All our fellows are encouraged to undertake a PG Cert in Education. For those who already have this, there will be an opportunity to undertake ILM3 (Leadership & Management Course). Funding will be available towards supporting this. There will be an expectation to support postgraduate and interprofessional education.
The post holder would be responsible for their own personal development plan regarding both service and educational work. Regular appraisal must be undertaken with their clinical supervisor and Simulation Lead Specialist. The post holder will work closely with the Associate Director of Simulation to identify Educational Deliverables.
