From the highest standards of teaching to ground-breaking research, we’re setting our school apart as the best of its kind in the UK and all of our staff work to make an enduring and positive impact on the world around us.

Our academic staff and students rely on a strong and dedicated team of professionals to support them.

We anticipate that you will also have worked in a clinical skills centre or healthcare environment, so this will have provided you with enough practical experience to assist with the setup and use of training manikins from manufacturers such as Laerdal and Limbs & Things.

For this, you will also be able to utilise your technical and IT knowledge to set up iPad controllers and liaise with our IT Service Desk or relevant providers for updates, trouble shooting, or reporting damaged equipment/property for repair.

The role does come with comprehensive training, which will soon see you become a valued team member, providing a defined technical service that will truly make a difference to the experience of our students and staff.

  • A degree in a relevant subject, equivalent qualification, OR equivalent professional experience
  • Practical knowledge and experience of clinical equipment/clinical skills procedures
