We have an exciting opportunity to join KMMH as a Medical Education Undergraduate Fellow, Trust Grade ST4-ST7 doctor.

The post is available with immediate effect up until 4th August 2026.

The post holder will be expected to attend various locations in Kent for meetings, teaching sessions and events, but the base of the post can be flexible to suit the appointed candidate.

This Medical Education Fellow post is being hosted by Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust. The fellowship role is a position that has been created to support Undergraduate work streams concerning Medical Student Psychiatry Placements taking place  medical students we receive are linked to Medical Schools:
King’s College London School of Medicine (GKT) and Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS).

Funding for a Postgraduate Qualification in Education will be available to the appointed candidate to undertake in the year.

This post is designed to support ST4‑7s who wish to make a commitment to education as part of their career. The “out of programme experience” (OOPE) post, based at Kent and Medway Mental Health NHS Trust, is aimed at those who wish to build on their personal teaching experience, develop expertise in educational theory and practice, and undertake supervised educational research.

The post holder will have a designated educational mentor who will oversee their development as an educator during the placement and co‑ordinate opportunities for personal development. A customised programme of training and educational experience will be designed around the needs of the individual.

Although enthusiasm for teaching is a prerequisite, no assumptions will be made about formal knowledge of educational theory or practice. Hands‑on teaching will be central to the post, as will a critical engagement with educational issues around providing undergraduate and postgraduate training in a changing context, both nationally and locally.
