Senior Clinical Teaching Fellow in Paediatrics

The candidate will benefit from access to resources and support from the medical school and will be encouraged to undertake a formal postgraduate qualification in medical education, for which courses are offered by Swansea University. Study leave will be readily granted for this activity.

This post is suitable for doctors who wish to gain formal teaching experience in a department that works closely with Swansea University Medical School. The post is a full-time appointment, but applications from doctors wishing to work on a part-time basis will also be welcomed.

This is a fixed-term post for 12 months.

Travelling between Hospital/Clinic sites may be required to undertake duties. In exceptional circumstances, it may also be necessary to undertake duties at other locations with the Health Board.

You will be expected to deputise for absent colleagues and, in exceptional, unforeseen circumstances, may have to perform additional duties to ensure the safe running of the department. Where such duties take place outside your normal contracted duties, you will receive either an equivalent off-duty period or will be remunerated appropriately.
