Education Fellow; Assessment

On the 1 August 2026, The University of Greenwich and the University of Kent will form a pioneering new multi‑university group called London and South‑East (LASE) University Group. If you join, you will be employed by LASE and will work closely with one of our academic divisions (University of Greenwich or University of Kent), contributing to its distinct strengths, community and identity.

LASE brings scale, resilience and shared ambition to deliver outstanding education, impactful research and meaningful regional and global impact.

Are you passionate about high‑quality teaching, assessment and learning in undergraduate medical education? Would you be interested in an opportunity to contribute and influence the strategic development of hospital‑based education across Kent and Medway? If so, this may be an opportunity for you!

We are looking for an Education Fellow to join the assessment team to focus on the main summative written assessment, the Applied Knowledge Tests (AKT). This role centres on producing high‑quality single‑best answer questions (and short‑answer questions where applicable), covering both clinical and medical science topics throughout the programme. All UK medical students take the national medical licensing assessment (MLA) in final year, so it is imperative that our assessments adequately prepare our students for the MLA and subsequent clinical practice.

• Support the quality assurance processes of the Applied Knowledge Test (AKT) assessments and production of the AKT exams across the programme.
• Support the quality assurance processes of the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) assessments and production of the OSCE exams across the programme.
• Liaise closely with line managers, educators and lecturers to deliver AKTs and OSCEs.
• Ensure that the assessment materials meet the defined student learning objectives.

• A medical/healthcare degree and/or diploma.
• Demonstration of recent clinical experience within the NHS.
• Demonstrable interest in teaching and learning or assessment in undergraduate or postgraduate medicine or a closely related discipline.
• Commitment to contributing fully and flexibly to the full range of activities required.

As a member of our team, you can expect a friendly, open and collaborative working environment and support in your development and wellbeing. You’ll enjoy a range of staff benefits, including:

• 43 days’ leave per year (personal leave, bank holidays and additional days allocated for the Christmas period, pro‑rata for part‑time staff).
• Excellent pension scheme with generous employer contributions.
• Corporate employee‑funded healthcare plan, in partnership with Benenden Health.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates as they are under‑represented at this level in this area.

The University of Kent values diversity and equality at all levels.

Applications must be made via the University’s online application system; CVs or details sent directly to the department or via email cannot be considered.

Please contact  quoting reference number KMMS-117-26 for further information regarding the application process.

We also welcome applications from individuals who wish to work less than full time.
