Main duties of the job

We are excited to invite applications for a Clinical Teaching Fellow who will support the teaching of undergraduate medical students at University Hospital Southampton.

A single session per week or clinical work could also be included to maintain skills.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

You will work closely with the undergraduate module and placement leads. You will be expected to go to the clinical areas where students are placed, make contact with the students, and teach them regularly.

You will need to show initiative and the ability to manage their own time. Supervision for the fellowship in UHS would be from the Associate Clinical Sub Dean and Deputy.

This role will provide you with ample opportunities to develop their teaching skills through a combination of time spent teaching, mentorship from the module and placement leads, observing other teachers, and delivering observed teaching sessions with feedback.
