This is an exciting opportunity to join an expanding, enthusiastic team. The holder of the post will gain a wide range of educational experiences—postgraduate, undergraduate and multi-professional.

There are potentially two posts available.

Post one: available from March 2026 for up to one year; shorter terms will be considered. This post can be done as a standalone Education post at 0.5 WTE or with additional clinical duties (speciality to be confirmed depending on departmental capacity).

Post two: from Sep 2026 for one year, clinically based in Complex General Paediatrics, at registrar level.
