Job Title: Senior Clinical Academic in Dental Education

We are seeking an exceptional clinician with a strong track record in dental education to join our team as a Senior Clinical Academic in Dental Education. The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues to deliver, manage, and develop our innovative undergraduate dental curricula.

The appointee will have the opportunity to contribute to the wider educational activity of the School, tailored to their experience, qualifications, and interests. As a leader in the School's education team, this role will play a key part in shaping strategies for the development of the discipline and contributing to leadership in the delivery of excellent education and student experience.

The role holder will work with the School leadership to realise our strategic ambitions. The appointment will be held at Bristol Dental School and will ultimately be responsible to the Head of School.

Opportunities exist to develop your passion in teaching and, where appropriate, relevant research. Collaboration is strongly encouraged between dental specialties and is core to the vision behind our integrated undergraduate curricula.

We have strong links with teachers and researchers in other academic disciplines across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences and wider University which the post holder will be encouraged to build on.

Main Duties of the Job

  2. Being a key link between the School's leadership and clinical teaching staff to ensure our educational strategy is embedded across all of the School's teaching activities.
  3. Ensuring quality in the School's provision of education, including chairing relevant committees, supporting year leads, supporting the annual programme review process, and, where appropriate, representing the School at Faculty and/or University education meetings.
  4. Contributing to leadership in the School's implementation of the General Dental Council's Safe Practitioner learning outcomes.
  5. Contributing to and/or leading development of the School's strategies on digital dentistry and sustainability.
  6. Supporting the School's Strategic Leadership Team in decision-making in response to internal and external opportunities and challenges to ensure our educational provision remains student-focused, high quality, and financially sustainable.
  7. For appropriately qualified and experienced candidates, leading the School's developing interests in pedagogic research.
  8. Supporting junior colleagues in developing their careers in dental education, including through direct line management, and contributing towards strategic succession planning.
