People are at the heart of what we are and do.
The University of Birmingham is proud to have been a part of the City of Birmingham and the wider region for over 100 years, and we are equally proud to be recognised as a leading global university. We want to attract talented people from across the city and beyond, support them to succeed, and celebrate their success.
We are committed to helping the people who work here to develop through our sector-leading Birmingham Professional programme which provides all professional services staff with development opportunities and the encouragement to reach their full potential. With almost 5,000 professional services jobs in a wide-range of functions in Edgbaston and in our campus in Dubai, there are plenty of opportunities for you to be able to develop your career at the University.
We believe there is no such thing as a typical member of staff and that diversity is a source of strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation, and debate. We warmly welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is at the heart of who and what we are, and how we work.
Supporting our people to achieve a healthy work/life balance is important both to our employees and to the success of the University and, depending on the role, we offer a variety of flexible working arrangements. We therefore welcome discussions on all forms of flexible working. In addition, you will receive a generous package of benefits including 40 days paid holiday a year, one paid day a year for volunteering, occupational sick pay, and a pension scheme. We also have three high quality subsidised day nurseries.
The University is situated in leafy Edgbaston and there are excellent transport links to our beautiful campus, including main bus routes and a train station on site. On campus we have a state-of-the-art sports centre with pool, shops, places to eat and drink, our own art gallery, museum and botanical gardens.
This role is based within the College of Medicine and Health. The College structure is aligned under three Schools that conduct both laboratory and clinically-based research, and which also deliver multiple undergraduate and post-graduate teaching programmes. The College is based in a variety of sites both on the University campus and embedded in partner NHS hospital sites. This role sits within the College's Infrastructure & Facilities team.
The Infrastructure and Facilities team provides support across the College to ensure physical facilities and technical resources meet the needs of the College and its constituent Institutes. This includes the provision of specialist practical teaching accommodation and technical support; core services support to provide autoclaving, glass washing and stores; specialist research services including flow cytometry and imaging; the maintenance and development of our estate including collaboration and partnership with University Estates, Campus Services, IT Services and Library Services; technical and laboratory management to our constituent Schools including specialist support and advice for health and safety management, management and development of research technical staff in partnership with academic principal investigators and the management and support of equipment and space.
This role is part of a wider team of dedicated professional services staff supporting the provision of specialist practical teaching facilities. Working alongside colleagues supporting specialist teaching in out anatomy and clinical skills & simulation facilities you will support specialist teaching within our clinical skills and simulation spaces. These facilities are currently located across several rooms within the Medical School building and are used by a wide range of teaching programmes to train future healthcare professionals. These facilities will be transferring to the Birmingham Centre for Anatomy, Surgical and Clinical Skills (BCASCS) based within the Birmingham Health Innovation Campus (BHIC) Building Number 1 in 2027.
You will provide technical support for teaching activities as required, utilising your technical skills and a wide range of techniques. You will also be expected to ensure your working area is safe and support others in following health and safety instructions. You may need to operate out of normal working hours to accommodate classes. In order to flexibly use resource you may be given the opportunity to work in different areas of the department or wider University.
You will provide technical support for all skills and simulation-based activities, and provide advice, troubleshoot, maintain and provide basic repair to the fleet of patient simulators, and provide maintenance of clinical and audio-visual equipment as necessary.
You will work alongside knowledgeable and experienced technicians and academic staff who support and deliver courses to our Professional Degree undergraduate students (currently Nursing and Pharmacy students), and postgraduate students (Independent Prescribing, Advanced Clinical Practice, Midwifery and Physician Associates). Our staff utilise technology to provide an enhanced learning platform. Through this medium we have invaluable opportunity to observe, develop and understand how healthcare professionals work together and interact with their environment and equipment.
