Are you interested in supporting the personal and professional development of medical students at Leeds? Do you have experience of teaching, mentoring or coaching undergraduate medical students or health professionals? 

The School of Medicine is looking to recruit inspiring and engaging facilitators to assist in the delivery and assessment of the Innovation, Development, Enterprise, Leadership and Safety (IDEALS) strand of the MBChB programme.

The aim of the IDEALS strand is to direct and support the personal and professional development of medical students as they progress to become safe & effective clinicians. Learning outcomes for of this strand are mapped to the GMC's ‘Achieving Good Medical Practice’ and ‘Outcomes for Graduates’ as well as the Faculty of Medical Leadership & Management curriculum.

We facilitate learning and development in group tutorials/seminars, and via 1-1 feedback conversations covering diverse content including wellbeing, team working and leadership, professional attitudes, skills and behaviours, mitigating bias and career planning.

We particularly welcome applications from healthcare professionals of diverse clinical backgrounds including locally employed doctors, doctors in training, and allied healthcare professionals. We do not expect every IDEALS facilitator to be expert in all of the subject areas and tutorial materials with accompanying facilitator notes are provided prior to delivery of the sessions. As an IDEALS facilitator you have access to Continuing Professional Development workshops relating to teaching skills and supporting students which can help to support your ongoing career development.

We are also inviting applications from individuals with experience of supporting clinicians to deliver healthcare in the areas of management, leadership, audit, and service improvement.

You will have a degree or equivalent experience. Facilitation or tutoring skills with groups are essential. Clinical teaching experience and formal qualifications in education are desirable. This position will allow you to enhance your CV, portfolio, educational skills and competencies. We strongly believe in creating inclusive learning and working environments, so we encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. We invite you to join us and make a valuable contribution to the development of future doctors.
