About the role

Leicester Medical School is seeking a highly organised and proactive Simulated Patient Coordinator to lead the coordination of its Simulated Patient Centre and simulated learning provision. Working across the University of Leicester, the School of Allied Health Professions and NHS partners, you will coordinate a wide range of simulation-based educational activities, ensuring that high-quality simulated patient experiences support both undergraduate and postgraduate healthcare education. You will oversee the deployment and coordination of a large pool of sessional patient simulators, working closely with academic colleagues, assessment teams and NHS stakeholders to meet the changing needs of teaching, assessment and professional training.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to take ownership of a complex and essential service. You will coordinate activity across multiple sites, support the recruitment and development of simulated patients, manage scheduling and quality processes, oversee financial administration and reporting, and contribute to the continuous improvement and standardisation of simulation provision. Working within a collaborative environment, you will help ensure that Leicester Medical School continues to deliver innovative and impactful healthcare education that reflects the University’s values of being inclusive, inspiring and impactful.

About you

You will be educated to A-level standard or possess equivalent relevant experience, with a proven track record in service coordination or operational management. You will have experience of planning and delivering complex activities involving multiple stakeholders, working autonomously, meeting demanding deadlines and coordinating the work of others through formal or informal management structures. Strong organisational skills, excellent written and verbal communication, sound judgement and a commitment to delivering high-quality services are essential.

You will be confident using Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word and Outlook, and able to analyse resources and budgets to support effective planning and decision-making.
