Clinical Teaching Fellow; Post Acute Care

Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 20 March 2026

These roles are replacement roles within the Academy of the Great Western Hospital with a focus on Undergraduate Medical Education. As a Trust, we place high importance on staff wellbeing, you will be offered a wide variety of support to help you maintain your wellbeing and to help colleagues maintain theirs.

These posts are aimed at post‑foundation year doctors who wish to spend time working in a medical educational role at The Academy in Swindon working with medical students from the University of Bristol (UoB), Oxford (UoO), and Kings College London (KCL).

The Clinical Teaching Fellow role is intended as a fixed‑term career development opportunity, normally taken for one year prior to specialty training. The posts are fixed term for 12 months as it is designed as a fellowship position rather than a permanent service role. The posts are suitable for doctors who wish to take time out before starting higher medical training or doctors who want to take a year out of a training programme (subject to agreement by the relevant training programme director) or for doctors interested in an academic career who wish to pursue a higher degree such as an MSc or doctorate (MD).

These posts are made up of an educational role (80%) delivered in the academy as well as a supernumerary clinical component in the NHS Trust (20%). Or 50% clinical and 50% educational ward‑based roles as described below.

The duties outlined below are not definitive and may be changed in accordance with the needs of the service.
