Senior Lecturer (Teaching) - Lead for Problem Based Learning

We are seeking to appoint a lead for Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to support the on-going delivery of the graduate entry MBChB programme within the Three Counties Medical School (TCMS) at the University of Worcester. The School’s MBChB curriculum is centred around Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and you will support our PBL facilitators organisationally and in terms of faculty development. Founded with the aim of widening access to careers in medicine and retaining graduates in the local area, the school opened to students in September 2023. 

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who is passionate about healthcare education to join the TCMS team. Applicants will have a keen interest in medical education and training, with a good understanding of the PBL process to provide the necessary pedagogic expertise and academic leadership. Working with the programme lead and phase leads to ensure the MBChB programme curriculum is supported in respect of problem-based learning, you will make a significant contribution towards designing and developing learning materials and assessment, as well as contributing to the delivery of a high-quality experience for medical students. 

The post is offered at Senior Lecturer level and ideally you will already have experience of teaching medical students or similar. However, key to the role is an interest in developing as a medical educator and the ability to work flexibly with the rest of the team to meet the needs of the MBChB curriculum. There are also opportunities for professional development.     

The post is based at the Severn campus. It will be a permanent appointment with an expected start date before Christmas.
