Clinical Teaching Fellow in Medical Education - interest in Geriatrics

We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time post from 5th August 2026 to 3rd August 2027 in Undergraduate Medical Education, with a specialist interest in Geriatrics.

This full-time post will have 60% in Undergraduate Medical Education with 40% working on the new Frailty Assessment Unit in the Older People’s Unit.

This post offers the opportunity to become intensively involved in medical education of our Bristol medical students, working in conjunction with local unit co-ordinators and tutors. The successful candidate would support the teaching of the 4th year Geriatric teaching block and would also support the other 9 CTF’s with teaching students from other years in different specialities. It would ideally suit someone currently in a CT post in a Medical specialty or an individual with significant experience in Geriatric Medicine.

Teaching will take place in a variety of forms: small group tutorials, larger group tutorials, skill based practical sessions, bedside clinical teaching and clinic based history and examination and simulation of clinical scenarios in the well-equipped Simulation Centre.

You should be self-motivated and innovative to help develop this post, with a particular emphasis on using simulation in clinical teaching.
