You will work closely with medical learners and clinicians as well as colleagues across Somerset NHS Foundation and other education providers.

This role is face to face in Musgrove Park Academy (TA1 5DA) and does not currently include working from home, due to nature of the role supporting the running of teaching facilities and service users being based in the hospital. If you enjoy interaction with service users and a varied day, this role will support that.

Key activities and responsibilities will include supporting the organisation of teaching programmes to include liaison with providers, attendance records and feedback.

To support these activities you will require the ability to prioritise your own workload. You will need to have experience of operating effectively as a key member of an administrative team within a customer service environment. A flexible, proactive and resilient attitude in an ever-changing environment will be vital, alongside organisation skills, excellent IT skills (including spreadsheets and databases).

Working in Somerset enables you to enjoy the idyllic countryside, areas of outstanding beauty and stunning coastlines whilst still only being a stone's throw away from bustling city centres like Bristol, Bath and Exeter and only two hours away from London.

There are excellent educational facilities in the area and, when compared to other regions, house prices are reasonable.

Somerset offers the countryside and the cosmopolitan - there is truly something for everyone
