Reference: HW-1589

The University of Worcester is a high achieving, award-winning, dynamic institution set within an inclusive and engaged community. The number one University in England for gender equality, according to the last three years of the Times Higher Education’s University Impact Rankings, with multiple accolades for teaching quality, inclusion, contribution to the community, and environmental sustainability, the University has been shortlisted as Times Higher Education University of the Year three times in recent years.  

One of the best Universities for health education, Worcester is creating the distinctive Three Counties Medical School [TCMS], aiming to widen access to careers in medicine and retain graduates in the local area. 

 The School’s planned curriculum emphasises problem-based learning [PBL], early consultations, programmatic assessment, an emphasis on community-orientated clinical placements and professional, emotionally intelligent communication at every stage. 

The School is now seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer/ Principal Lecturer in Clinical Skills. This is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of the team as the School enters its next phase of development, having secured the go ahead from the General Medical Council [GMC] to recruit the first medical students. Applications for the graduate entry MBChB are open for entry in September 2023.

The new £16 M state of the art Three Counties Centre for Health and Wellbeing which is situated on the Severn’s St John’s Riverbank in Worcester, will be ready to occupy in early 2023.

The curriculum is being developed by the Programme and Phase Leads alongside academic and clinical academic colleagues specialising in Simulation and Inter-Professional Learning, Clinical Skills, Problem-based Learning and Integrated Clinical Methods.

The Clinical Skills Lead will be responsible for designing and developing learning materials and will make a significant contribution to lectures, practical teaching and assessment of clinical skills for medical students, as well as contributing to the delivery of a high-quality student experience, working with the Phase Leads to ensure the MBChB programme curriculum is supported in respect of their discipline.  

The post is offered at Senior Lecturer level, with exceptional candidates being considered for appointment to Principal Lecturer, subject to experience.   For a post at Principal Lecturer level, you will need to have an established record of excellence in learning and teaching, research and scholarship, and management and leadership.
