Main duties of the job

As a Clinical Skills Tutor, you will plan, deliver and evaluate clinical skills education for undergraduate medical students, working with the Clinical Education Team and University of Manchester to develop students’ knowledge, practical skills and professional behaviours for safe clinical practice.

The role includes clinical skills teaching, simulation and assessment, including core procedures such as venepuncture, cannulation and urinary catheterisation. You will maintain clinical competence to ensure teaching is current, evidence-based and high quality.

You will be a positive role model, promote professionalism and compassionate care, and create an inclusive learning environment adapted to different levels of experience and confidence.

As part of a small, supportive team, you will work flexibly with colleagues throughout the academic year. Strong teamwork, organisation and adaptability are essential, including flexibility to support examinations and assessments, which may require changes to planned schedules.

Formal teaching experience is desirable but not essential; teaching, coaching or mentoring gained through clinical practice is valued. We will support your professional development and growth as an educator.
