This job is now closed
Job summary
Fixed term 12 months 37.5 hours/week (suitable for secondment -- if applying for a secondment then you must have the prior agreement of your line manager)
Are you an Occupational Therapist (OT) or Physiotherapist (PT) with a passion for education? Do you want to be at the heart of the development of the future workforce in healthcare? We are offering the opportunity to be part of leading an innovative student education model which is new for Therapies at UHB. Join us in creating a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and high-quality learning environment for students at the Good Hope Hospital site.
We are developing an interdisciplinary student-led clinical learning environment (SLCLE) on ward 12 at Good Hope, where students of all disciplines will take active responsibility for organising and delivering patient care, supported by practice supervisors and educators. The model has been successfully piloted at Solihull Hospital and this fixed-term full time post will support expansion. The SLCLE model is a unique opportunity to enrich the quality of students' learning by focusing on enhancing confidence through coaching, clinical competency development, supervision, teaching, and assessment. The SLCLE aims to create a culture of excellence in education, leadership, learning, teaching, and pastoral support, impacting positively on the outcomes of students and patient care.
Main duties of the job
What's needed to be successful in this role:
We are looking for someone with excellent clinical skills, who has a particular interest in undergraduate allied health professional (AHP) Therapy education. The majority of the Therapy student cohorts will be physiotherapy and occupational therapy therefore post-registration experience in one of these professions is required.
The SLCLE will include nursing and therapy students working together and you will clinically support students from AHP professions (predominantly Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Speech and Language Therapy) whilst working closely with the nurse clinical educators and the existing Therapy and Nursing teams on the ward.
Approachability, reliability, organisation, and a being strong team player will be essential, alongside an ability to build rapport with students, patients, visitors, and colleagues from a range of cultures and backgrounds.
Today's students are tomorrow's workforce so this role is crucial as part of the investment in our future Therapists.
