• Act as personal tutor and support students’ academic development and progress throughout their period of study. Some of the key aspects of that role; to ensure a holistic view of their academic development, monitor their progress, and signpost them to appropriate pastoral services and resources.
• Involvement in course evaluation, ongoing module / programme design and development including, when appropriate, accreditation or re- accreditation processes.
• Have a role in promoting the programme by various means – for example advertising initiatives, visiting NHS trusts and through the Web.

• Other duties as appropriate to the smooth running of the Programme and our related activities or on request of the Programme Director(s).

Whilst you will bring your own expertise to the role, considerable support is available within the team in terms of guidance, training and mentoring to assist you in meeting these requirements. You will be based in the Centre for Health Sciences Education where a range of teaching materials for existing courses, plus excellent secretarial and IT support are available and there is a friendly, collegiate atmosphere.
