The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is part way through a significant expansion of the clinical skills and simulation facilities and a programme of educational development. All programmes deliver innovative educational experiences for students and these posts represents an opportunity for individuals to engage in the provision of skills and simulation education across the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS). The Faculty has Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy and Bioengineering, and Allied Health Professions, and offer a full range of clinical and non-clinical undergraduate, postgraduate and CPD courses. The quality of training is reflected in feedback from the professional bodies responsible for validating degree courses and in the excellent rankings enjoyed by all four Schools in disciplinary league tables and the National Student Survey. Students enjoy excellent staff support and small group teaching in superb surroundings with access to the latest technology and facilities that include state-of-the-art anatomy, community simulation suites including the newly commissioned Health House and Health Bungalow, plus training ambulance and 3D virtual reality. The university is investing in its educational infrastrucutre and we are pleased to be commissioning a new faculty clinical skills and simulation centre within the campus to expand existing facilities. Students also benefit from partnerships with NHS organisations across Staffordshire and Shropshire, including UHNM one of the largest acute hospitals in the country where the university has invested in excellent skills and simulation facilities with the most recent development of an emergency department simulated environment.
The clinical skills and simulation teaching fellows will work with colleagues across the Faculty to develop, implement and evaluate clinical skills and simulation teaching in health and social care education. A major part of the role will be to facilitate simulated clinical placements for students on Nursing and Allied Health programmes in line with professional, statutory and regulatory body (PSRB) requirements. Experience of clinical teaching and supervising students will be essential alongside the ability to plan and deliver teaching within educational programmes within the higher education setting.
The University is committed to operating flexible working practices wherever possible.
Keele University values equality and diversity across our workforce and to ensuring our staff community is reflective of the diversity of our student population. In support of these commitments the University welcomes applications from individuals of Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds for all roles.
