We are looking for a committed, enthusiastic and Clinical Skills Tutor to join the Medical Education Team.

The post-holder will play an integral part of delivering high-quality teaching across a number of Medical Education Programmes.

The post-holder has lead responsibility for the co-ordination and delivery of clinical skills based training programmes, including resuscitation training, required by the medical curricula.

Central to this will be the planning, development and delivery of a clinical skills programme for medical students and medical staff that is in line with national guidelines and academic curricula.

The post holder will need to work alongside the Undergraduate Tutor, Clinical Education Fellows, Medical Education staff, Director of Medical Education, College and Specialty Tutors, Resuscitation Officer and university representatives to ensure access to, and delivery of relevant clinical skills training.

The post holder will possess the highly developed skills needed to work alongside Education Fellows to ensure the provision of support and resources for medical students and medical staff within the Trust.

The post holder will represent the Trust at meetings with external organisations and education providers.

The post holder will strive to continually improve the education programmes provided and develop links with other skills providers, internally and externally to exchange information and advice, promote effective working relationships, and take initiative in tackling issues relating to medical education.

Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MCHFT) provides good quality, safe and effective healthcare to the people of Cheshire and beyond.

The Trust, which manages Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford, was established as an NHS Trust in April 1991 and became a Foundation Trust in April 2008.

We employ almost 5,000 members of staff, provide around 540 hospital beds, with a range of services including accident and emergency, maternity, outpatients, therapies, and children's health.

The Trust is also part of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership (CCICP), a unique local health partnership that provides a range of community services for people across South Cheshire and Vale Royal.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, the Trust was recognised nationally for its 'Be Safe Be EquiPPEd' campaign, which aimed to make the Trust as safe as possible for staff and patients, through supporting the correct use of PPE.

The results in the 2020 national NHS Staff Survey showed improvements in all elements of the safety culture theme, with 92% of respondents feeling their role made a difference to our patients.

We were also recognised nationally for our workforce health and wellbeing initiatives.

At Mid Cheshire, we value our staff and appreciate that in order to give our patients the best quality, compassionate care, we also need to look after our colleagues.
