Job description

We are seeking a dynamic, collaborative individual to coordinate delivery of flagship clinical academic training programmes delivered across King's Health Partners (KHP) through the King's Clinical Academic Training Office (KCATO).

King's College London, together with our NHS Foundation Trust partners (Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust) provides a leading multidisciplinary environment in which to train as a clinical academic.

We offer internally and externally funded training opportunities, with a proven track record of developing clinical academic leaders, making a difference for patients and communities across South East London and beyond.

The post holder will support the coordination and delivery of strategic capacity-building schemes for clinical academics, including:

The new Clinical Research Excellence Fellowship programmes, recently launched through the KHP Centre for Translational Medicine
The King's NIHR Integrated Academic Training (IAT) programme for doctors and dentists.

By supporting the two schemes (outlined in further detail below), the postholder will build knowledge and expertise in growing a clinical academic pipeline and community, and ensure the trainees enrolled on both programmes benefit from the world-class clinical academic training environment provided through the organisations of KHP.

They will coordinate cohort building opportunities across the programmes, and proactively seek ways to streamline and enhance processes and opportunities for the benefit of all involved.

The postholder will provide a point of contact and advice for stakeholders including trainees, supervisors, academic and clinical training leads, and external stakeholders including NHS England and the NIHR.

They will offer expertise and operational support in recruitment, contracts and onboarding, advising on queries from trainees and supporting their professional development through signposting and administering the IAT bursary scheme.

The role holder will foster strong collaborative partnership links with colleagues across the health faculties at KCL, research and development colleagues across the partner NHS Trusts, and with local centres supporting capacity building such as the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre.

Based in the KCATO team, the role-holder will have a dotted line into the KHP Centre for Translational Medicine Manager and will work closely with the team to deliver the Clinical Research Excellence Fellowship scheme specifically.

On-site working will be required for effective engagement across the partner organisations.

This post will be offered on a three-year fixed-term contract until 25 March 2027 in the first instance.

This is a full-time post - 100% full time equivalent.
