Job Description: Senior Clinical Skills and Simulation Technician
The University is currently looking for 2 experienced, committed, and enthusiastic Senior Clinical Skills and Simulation Technicians to help provide dedicated, high quality, technical support in the Clinical Skills and Simulation Rooms for the College of Health and Life Sciences. One based at our Croydon Campus and one based at our Southwark campus, with the expectation of occasional cross campus working.
The clinical skills and simulation rooms are maintained by a dedicated team of technicians who support students and staff in use of specialist equipment and related processes.
As a member of this team, you will present and demonstrate key technologies, facilitate practical sessions, and play a key role in ensuring that the environments and technical equipment run smoothly.
This wide and varied role typically involves the preparation of specialist spaces and equipment for practical classes, providing dedicated technical support for bespoke clinical and simulation systems, playing a key role in supporting less experienced staff and being actively involved in supporting academic colleagues in practical sessions.
We will provide you with opportunities to develop your experience, knowledge and understanding of the wide range of systems, processes, and techniques that are part of working in this environment.
