Junior Clinical Teaching Fellow; CT

Overview

Go back Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

The closing date is 13 February 2026.

The Trust provides undergraduate teaching to medical students from the University of Birmingham, University of Warwick and Three Counties Medical School. This is one of a number of Teaching Fellow posts that support the delivery of education to medical students including, but not limited to, bedside teaching, tutorials, high fidelity simulation and study days. Clinical Teaching Fellows support completion of medical student assessments and examinations.

Exposure to a clinical specialty of the successful applicant’s choice will be encouraged as teaching commitments allow.

Applicants who will have already completed one year as a Junior Clinical Teaching Fellow at the point that these posts commence are eligible to apply for another 12 month fixed term post; this is on the understanding that a second year Junior Clinical Teaching Fellow would undertake another year of higher PG education qualification (such as, PG Cert continue to PG Dip).

Following completion of a second year Junior Clinical Teaching Fellow post it is anticipated that doctors will return to clinical practice or clinical training. Please note, we will close the advert early should we receive a high volume of applications.

This is one of a series of posts combining experience in a clinical specialty with undergraduate teaching of medical students at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. This 12-month post is suitable for trainees whose career would be advanced by the opportunity to develop their teaching skills. It may also appeal to higher trainees who wish to take time out of a training programme, subject to the approval of the appropriate Specialist Training Committee.

Remuneration for 40 hours (which is 1 Whole Time Equivalent WTE) will be at the appropriate local nodal point for Trust junior clinical fellows, for daytime duties. Successful candidates will be required to work across both the Alexandra and Worcestershire Royal Hospital sites. However the post holder may be required to work at any location within the Trust should the need arise.

The successful candidate will be funded to complete the PGCert in Medical Education at the University of Birmingham. This is based on employment for 12 months and early termination of the post will result in withdrawal of funding and/or the candidate will be required to pay the academy back.
