Undergraduate Administrator for Cambridge Medical Students

To provide administrative support to the Clinical Sub-Deans for Cambridge Medical Students and Hub Lead (Northern Hub), Medical Education Manager, and Cambridge Medical School.

The post holder will provide high-level administrative support for the delivery of the Cambridge Medical School undergraduate curriculum for medical students on placement to the Trust. The post holder will also be expected to assist with the wider Postgraduate Medical and Dental agenda.

In 2015 a revised curriculum was introduced by Cambridge Medical School. This new curriculum places a far greater importance on longer clinical placements in teaching partner hospitals from the start of the clinical phase of the medical curriculum. Hospitals across the East of England who take Cambridge Medical Students are in one of three hubs according to locality. Peterborough City Hospital is the major teaching centre for the Northern Hub. Students are assigned to a teaching hub for an academic year, moving between teaching hubs over the three years of the Clinical Course.

An outcome of the new curriculum is increased numbers of students in the clinical years of the course, resulting in increased numbers on existing placements to Peterborough City Hospital together with the introduction of new placements.
