The Practice Educator Facilitator within Skills for Practice plays a pivotal role in delivering clinical skills education, Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) induction, and workforce development across University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS). This role underpins evidence-based practice and supports the development of safe, competent and confident practitioners across the organisation.

Working in close partnership with internal clinical teams, programme leads within Training, Development and Workforce, and external stakeholders including the Faculty of Medicine and wider healthcare partners, you will contribute to the delivery of the undergraduate medical curriculum and widening participation initiatives.

In this role, you will deliver high-quality teaching, supervision and ongoing clinical assessment to a broad range of learners, including Trust-wide registered and non-registered staff, medical students (BMEU, BMIT, BM4, BM5, BM6), FY1 doctors, Clinical Fellows, and HCSWs. You will support learners beyond the classroom by facilitating safe application of skills within clinical practice and maintaining a visible clinical profile to role model excellence in care delivery.

Through the delivery of theoretical, practical and simulation-based education including OSCE preparation and examination, you will ensure learners develop the confidence, competence and professionalism required for high-quality patient care. You will also undertake quality monitoring activities that support practice areas in meeting professional and regulatory standards for practice-based education, proactively identifying and addressing areas for improvement through audit, incident reporting and service evaluation.

Working collaboratively with clinical, academic, and workforce development colleagues, and reporting to the relevant Programme Lead within Training, Development and Workforce, you will enhance learner experience, strengthen clinical confidence, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the workforce at UHS. Your contribution will directly influence patient safety, staff development, professional standards and organisational excellence.
