You’ll join the Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) team during a period of active innovation — helping shape teaching programmes, faculty development, and inter-professional learning across the Trust.

  • Organise membership teaching and mock exam preparation (including MRCPCH-focused support)
  • Assist in planning and delivering the annual hospital education conference

  • This role emphasizes hands-on learning, reflection, and measurable improvement in educational delivery.
