The closing date is 07 January 2026

This is a post-CCT/Paediatric Specialist Trainee 4+/Registrar level role from January 2026 for 8 months. With appropriate approval from your training programme director, this post would be suitable for out of programme experience (OOPE) training.

Main duties of the job

This exciting role will provide you with the opportunity to develop your teaching skills, and enhance your understanding of all aspects of medical education. You will be involved teaching undergraduate medical students during their paediatric attachment. Teaching will be varied and it is hoped that you will develop your own teaching skills and be able to facilitate small group teaching, deliver lectures to larger audiences, and teach clinical skills at the bedside. You will also have the opportunity to participate in some postgraduate paediatric medical teaching. It is expected that 50% of your time is spent delivering and preparing for undergraduate teaching.

About us

St George's has an advanced simulation centre which teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate trainees. There is an active paediatric and neonatal simulation faculty which delivers in situ training to all members of the paediatric MDT, and you would be encouraged to join this team.

Job responsibilities

In order to maintain your clinical practice there will be regular clinical sessions in paediatric A&E or covering the paediatric wards, working at Paediatric Registrar level. Your teaching commitment is equally split with your clinical commitment. You would be part of the Paediatric middle grade level on call rota and undertake long day shifts (both weekdays and weekends) and night shifts. The job is EWTD compliant.

You would be expected to undertake a formal medical educational qualification during the appointment. We would support you in applying for the Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education (PgCert HBE) course held at St Georges. You would be supported in attaining further training in medical simulation if required.

The department is involved in research and development of medical education within paediatrics. You would be strongly encouraged to participate in this aspect of medical education and aim to present your work at international meetings.
