Bart's Health Simulation Team

Base: Newham Hospital - 9 months secondment to cover maternity leave

Band 7

37.5 hours worked over five days with no opportunity to work from home, this is a face to face role

The Simulation and Essential Clinical Skills service forms part of the Education Academy within Bart's Health.

This is a face-to-face role without provision to work from home. The post holder will be based in the Simulation Centre facility at Newham Hospital five days a week. They will be expected to work across other sites as and when required. The post holder will be responsible for delivering procedure based teaching alone and in partnership with specialists in the field.

Main duties of the job

We are currently looking to recruit a clinical skills tutor for 9 months secondment to cover maternity leave who will have the skills to maintain, set up, coordinate and deliver training using this equipment. They will also be expected to support clinicians in the delivery of the clinical skills teaching, including the wide library of haptic simulators available within this facility.

"Although this position is a 9 months fixed-term contract, the actual contract duration will be adjusted to account for the time taken to advertise the post, complete the hiring process, and finalise pre-employment checks. This means the contract will begin when the candidate starts the role and may be slightly shorter than 9 months."
