One of the best Universities for health education, Worcester has created the distinctive Three Counties Medical School (TCMS), aiming to widen access to careers in healthcare and retain graduates in the local area.

The post holder will be responsible for the leadership of the Physician Associate programme and its research and scholarship output. They will work closely with the Dean of the Three Counties Medical School on the strategic direction of the programme, including: collaboration with NHS partners to seek opportunities for joint working ventures to improve recruitment, retention and quality of clinical placements, teaching and the student experience; preparation for the PA Apprenticeship; and the regulation of physicians associates with the GMC including policies and processes, quality assurance and self-assessment, and the alignment of course design, syllabus and assessments with GMC learning outcomes ensuring safe practice.
The successful candidate will be a proven leader, with the ability to motivate and influence their colleagues to achieve tangible positive outcomes, as well as demonstrate an excellent awareness of the Higher Education environment.
