Clinical Educator (Research)

Do you thrive on personal responsibility, have a keen eye for detail and love to think about the bigger picture and have a restless desire to improve things?

Are you energised by working with other people, get a buzz out of learning, developing others and are good at explaining things?

Are you good at analysing data and situations, thrive on problem solving, have very high standards and respects others?

If you recognise yourself in the description above and it excites you to think you could be one of our team to help embed research in day to day clinical practice whilst growing as a Centre of Excellence for research we want to hear from you.

This secondment opportunity will not only support your professional development but it will also allow you to play an active role in raising the profile of clinical and academic research. As part of this new role you will have the space for proposing new initiatives and ways of working across boundaries, exploring and creating new collaborations as well as securing opportunities to grow the IEH and its reputation.

It is an opportunity not to be missed.

Main duties of the job

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,

• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
