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 160+ undergraduate medical students from Keele University each year. The Trust has recently been awarded University Hospital status.

The successful applicant should be educated to NVQ Level 3 standard and ideally have worked as a healthcare assistant as the post does require some patient care. 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.

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

You will 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.

The Undergraduate Department is a small and friendly team. All members of the team strive to provide a high quality and engaging educational experience.

Join us at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, where our passion for excellence drives everything we do.

We're on a mission to provide high quality, safe care to our patients, in an environment our incredible staff are proud to work in.
