Clinical Teaching Fellow SpR in Palliative Medicine

Clinical Teaching Fellow SpR in Palliative Medicine

The closing date is 01 March 2026

South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) is a teaching hospital associated with the University of Warwick Medical School (WMS) and the University of Buckingham Medical School (uBMS). We are advertising for Clinical Education Fellows to join our medical education team in providing education and training to both medical students and resident doctors.

Warwick Medical School has a graduate intake of students and is a four year course which takes account of prior learning and mature learning styles.

Buckingham Medical School is an independent medical school and runs a compressed undergraduate entry course over four and a half years.

Phase I of both courses is taught predominantly in the university setting with students attending a number of bedside teaching sessions within the Trust. The remainder of both courses is primarily held on placement in Trusts. Post-holders will therefore be involved in teaching and assessment of students both within the Trust and at the universities.

Come and join a Trust rated Outstanding by the CQC. South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust have been rated as outstanding following our latest inspection by the CQC and we are recruiting new staff to come and help us improve even further. In addition our staff survey results have placed us 4th in the country for recommended place to work.

We provide services across Warwickshire and beyond ranging from Hospitals in Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Shipston-on Stour to Community Services across the county. We are a progressive, expanding organisation with great ambition around improving quality, integrating pathways and delivering high levels of productivity. Our values can be summed up in one sentence. We are 'Trusted to provide safe, inclusive, effective and compassionate care'.

Throughout the recruitment process you will be asked to think about how you demonstrate these values and how they impact on your work. It doesn't matter what role you do, whether it is patient facing or not, we are all working in the same way with our values at the core.

As part of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion we encourage all applicants to complete a short survey. This can be accessed via the link below:

We appreciate you completing the survey.

This is a 12 month fixed term appointment, usually starting in August. The post is split between teaching and clinical work within the palliative care team with approximately 50% of the time spent with each.

The post is designed to support undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Post-holders will teach medical students in both the hospital and university settings and will have the opportunity to deliver teaching to doctors in training. As a result, our education fellows will be involved in teaching a broad range of topics across both universities and at postgraduate level, requiring high levels of flexibility and adaptability.
