Lancaster Medical School is seeking to appoint a Clinical Skills Manager at 1.0 FTE. Part-time and job share arrangements will be considered for the right candidate.

You will be able to prioritise a complex workload and work effectively under pressure, while developing and maintaining strong working relationships with the MBChB programme team and a range of internal and external stakeholders, including partner NHS Trusts.

Excellent organisational skills and demonstrable experience in clinical skills teaching (including physical examination skills) are essential.

You will be responsible for delivering teaching to medical students across a range of clinical skills, with a focus on clinical examination of key body systems, supporting preparation for early clinical experience.

You will support the management of a state-of-the-art simulation and clinical skills facility, including a 9-bed clinical skills laboratory and an 8-bed mobile simulation teaching unit. You will be supported by a clinical skills classroom assistant and visiting colleagues from partner NHS organisations.
