This post is a part-time teaching fellow post based at Whittington Health. It provides an exciting opportunity for a trainee who wishes to take some time out of full-time clinical training to develop themselves as an educator. We invite applications from those with a strong teaching interest in any area of paediatrics and child health.
This is a 1-year post that includes both clinical and teaching responsibilities, with support for both research and to complete a formal postgraduate certificate in Medical Education if desired. The appointee will be encouraged to make use of the research and clinical training resources within the Whittington and its clinical networks, plus UCL-associated paediatric and child health academic and service units including the Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital. The appointee will spend 70% of their time in teaching and research and 30% in clinical training.
The post holder may choose to do out of-hours work alongside this post, although this is not compulsory., Whittington Health serves a richly diverse population and works hard to ensure that all our services are fair and equally accessible to everyone. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the way we look after our staff. We aim to employ a workforce which is as representative as possible of this population, so we are open to the value of differences in age, disability, gender, marital status, pregnancy and maternity, race, sexual orientation, and religion or belief. The Trust believes that as a public sector organisation we have an obligation to have recruitment, training, promotion and other formal employment policies and procedures that are sensitive to these differences. We think that by doing so, we are better able to treat our patients as well as being a better place to work.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
Based at the Whittington Hospital and the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (GOS ICH), this unique post offers the chance to:
Lead an intercalated BSc (iBSc) programme: The UCL iBSc in Paediatrics and Child Health at GOSH ICH is one of the most popular programmes at UCL Medical School.
Develop as an academic and an educator: Access world-class resources and mentorship to develop expertise and pursue formal qualifications in medical education. Support and funding are available for a postgraduate certificate in clinical education via the apprenticeship route, and previous fellows have taken advantage of this. The post-holder will receive an honorary academic contract at UCL, and access to university resources at UCL and ICH. They will also be encouraged to make use of the resources available at Whittington Health and the Whittington Education Centre. We encourage post-holders to pursue research or quality improvement initiatives, and support and guidance will be available for candidates who wish to do so.
Pursue clinical excellence in paediatrics: Balance teaching with supervised clinical training at the Whittington Hospital, which provides a comprehensive paediatric service for children from birth. Services provided include a paediatric emergency department, paediatric ambulatory and day care unit, general and specialist outpatient clinics, in-patient care, a high dependency unit and children's community nursing care.
Tailor work-life balance: This is a less-than-full-time post at 0.7 FTE average over the course of the academic year. Opportunities may be available to supplement this with additional clinical work at the Whittington Hospital.
