Job overview

As a Simulation Technician, you will play a central role in facilitating simulation-based learning activities across healthcare settings. This role demands technical proficiency and a strong commitment to educational excellence, contributing to the design, setup, and delivery of simulation-based activities.

Clinical simulation is a training method that uses realistic scenarios, equipment, and environments to help healthcare professionals practice and improve their skills without risking patient safety. It mimics real-life medical situations—like emergencies or routine care—so teams can learn, make decisions, and refine techniques in a safe, controlled setting.

The ideal candidate will be motivated to support innovative clinical education through the application of advanced technologies and problem-solving skills.
