Academic Teaching Fellow (Clinical Educator)

SALARY & HOURS: £43,081 FTE (0.4-0.8 FTE options available) 

The University of Buckingham has a unique atmosphere, unlike that of any other higher educational institution. Despite being one of the UK’s smallest universities and the only independent university to hold a Royal Charter, Buckingham has staff from over 60 countries, making it a truly distinctive work environment.  Whichever of our locations you find yourself working in, you will be sure to feel a part of our friendly community.  Our size enables us to foster a very personalised, supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment, with lots of opportunity for development, something which we are very proud of. 

The university is keen to build on its strengths to further enhance the teaching and research culture and is looking for a candidate who shares similar knowledge and research exchange ambitions and is keen to make a notable contribution. By joining our passionate and active team, the candidate can expect excellent support in their teaching, research, knowledge exchange and scholarly activity.

This role allows Clinical Educators to explore the world of teaching in undergraduate medicine. It is a fantastic opportunity to gain a solid foundation in all aspects of formal teaching for first- and second-year medical students and can be on a part time basis, accompanying any clinical roles held by the candidate. Those who work three days or more for a year, also qualify for being fully funded to undertake a Post Graduate Certificate in Medical Education which wonderfully complements this role.

The candidate must have completed the UK Foundation programme, have a right to work in the UK and be GMC registered. The candidate should have a portfolio that enables them to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. Professional qualifications such as a recognised Higher Education teaching qualification or Higher Education Academy Fellowship would be advantageous.

We know that sometimes people can be put off applying for a job if they think they can’t tick every box, but we are invested in our people and their development, so we encourage you to apply if you believe you have the majority of the skills and experience required and are keen to develop further!

Informal enquiries may be made to Louise Rogers and Mia Lyon at atf@buckingham.ac.uk.

Applications will close 30^th April 2025. Interviews will be held prior to the start date of 5^th August 2025.
