You will design, deliver, assess and evaluate high-quality simulation-based education; contribute original educational and simulation research; and develop impactful innovation, engagement and partnership activity.

You will bring senior clinical education experience, evidence of educational or simulation research and innovation, and expertise across simulation modalities. Knowledge of national simulation standards, including HEIW and ASPiH requirements, is important.

This is an opportunity to work on a groundbreaking simulation project to implement simulation education, scholarship, patient safety and healthcare improvement while contributing to the wider academic life of Swansea University.
