This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our Clinical Skills and Simulation Technician Team. The postholder will work closely with staff and external organisations/ providers to organise, prepare and maintain a variety of equipment, materials and facilities to a high standard for clinical skills and simulation activity taking place across multiple campuses (including activity at the Dudley site when necessary).

The Senior Clinical Skills and Simulation Technician will provide high quality technical and accompanying administrative support for a range of health and medical programmes, including demonstrating and training others in the use of the equipment and applications.
