We are looking to recruit 5 post-holders, each at 2 sessions per week (one day equivalent). Peripatetic TPDs may be deployed into GP training programmes across the region for a defined periods to provide TPD support when a programme has lost capacity through prolonged absence (e.g. due to illness, recruitment delays), provide support during periods of increased educational demand (e.g. ARCP panels) or to deliver a specific project (e.g. improved neurodiversity support offer). Over the course of a year, a Peripatetic TPD may work across several different programmes in the East Midlands. When not deployed to a specific programme, peripatetic TPDs will contribute to centralised regional educational offers, e.g. the regional resident doctor induction programme, centralised teaching on essential topics, and other region-wide initiatives. This is a deliberately flexible role designed to provide regional resilience. It is also an excellent development opportunity for educators who want to build TPD experience, work with a range of programme teams, and gain exposure to different ways of running GP training. The East Midlands GP School delivers training across nine programmes (Nottingham, Sherwood Forest, Leicester/Leicestershire/Rutland, Chesterfield, Lincoln, Boston, Derby, Kettering, Northampton). Successful applicants should be willing to work across the region as deployments require. ### Main duties of the job Specific duties will vary by deployment and by the needs of the host programme, but typically include: - Programme support and management - Teaching delivery - Trainee support - Collaboration and communication with the Head of School, APD for Rotations & Rotas, programme TPDs, programme managers, and other regional colleagues throughout the deployment. - Evaluation and development including contributing feedback to the Heads of School and the APD for Rotations & Rotas on each deployment, supporting continuous improvement of the Peripatetic TPD model. - Participate in regional faculty development opportunities and protected professional development time. Please note role responsibilities are not limited to the areas listed above - as with all TPD roles, you may be asked to work flexibly to support wider GP training within the East Midlands. This is a new type of role within the East Midlands GP School. Post-holders will play an active part in shaping how the role develops, with their experience informing future deployments and regional priorities. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities You can find further details about the job, organisational structure, recruitment profile, expected outcomes and benefits information in the attached Job Description and any other supporting documents.
