Teaching Fellow. This post will be to work with the University of Sunderland and is 12 months fixed term until September 2026.

and student assessment processes. The successful candidates will also have the
opportunity to study for the PG Certificate in Medical Education with
designated study time.
This post
offers the opportunity to gain broad experience within the undergraduate
teaching team. There are no existing designated clinical sessions as the post

Main duties of the job

and evaluation of the University of Sunderland undergraduate paediatric curriculum

Candidates must have a MBBS qualification (or equivalent) and be

Good paediatric knowledge is essential, as well as good
communication and interpersonal skills, and previous experience of working as a
Doctor in an NHS setting. Successful candidates must have an interest in the
specialty for which they are applying and be fully registered with the
GMC.
We are available to meet prospective applicants and
give them the opportunity to visit the hospital and meet colleagues with whom
they will be working. We find this helps candidates to gain a greater

happy joining our team.
