South Tees Research Innovation and Education (STRIVE) are looking to appoint an innovative and dynamic simulation technician within the simulation service.
As a simulation technician you would be an integral part of the simulation team. Your day to day role will be to provide operational coordination of all technical aspects of clinical education within simulation, clinical, classroom and virtual learning environments.

- Operate simulators, audio visual systems and virtual reality headsets
- Supporting simulation training
- Health and safety and maintenance of equipment
- Diagnose and repair minor technological faults

You be professional and approachable as a customer-facing member of the team. Attention to details and ability to follow instructions and processes is essential.
