Job summary
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Job Title: Clinical Teaching FellowStart Date: August 2026Contract Type: Fixed termDuration: 12 monthsPurpose for Fixed Term: Short term funding
This post is appointed on a fixed-term basis for the primary purpose of providing structured training and supervised clinical development. While you will contribute to service delivery, the overarching purpose of the post is to provide defined educational opportunities, supervised clinical practice, and experience aligned to the relevant specialty training curriculum
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
We are excited to invite applications for a Clinical Teaching Fellow who will support the teaching of undergraduate medical students at University Hospital Southampton.
The post will suit a motivated junior doctor who would like to develop their knowledge and experience in the field of medical education. Candidates will have the opportunity to discuss any particular interests at the interview stage.
The successful candidate will have 100% of their time protected for teaching. Out-of-hours work is not a requirement of this role but could be undertaken after negotiation and discussion with the ACSD and the service manager. A single session per week or clinical work could also be included to maintain skills.
About us
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
