- Supporting the well-being of Pre-clinical medicine students, both individually and as a cohort;

- Implementing measures to promote the well-being and resilience of all Pre-clinical medicine students;
- Liaising with the Director of Pre-clinical Studies in the cases of Pre-clinical students who are causing concern on grounds of ill health and/or misconduct.
Applicants will be University academic postholders who have experience of teaching and providing support to medical students. Applicants who are clinically qualified may be at an advantage. The appointment will be offered for one year in the first instance, with the possibility of re-appointment following review for one further period, of three years’ duration. There will be a probationary period of six months.
Interested individuals are welcome to contact Dr Robert Wilkins, Director of Pre-clinical Studies (robert.wilkins@dpag.ox.ac.uk) to discuss the role further.
