Summary
Background
The Technical Services Directorate at CCCU is delighted to be able to offer TWO vacancies for full-time, permanent technicians to join our friendly simulation team at the Canterbury campus. The team is responsible for the delivery of essential, innovative and high-quality simulation and clinical skills learning for students on our health and social care courses, enabling them to attain the highest standards of clinical skills in preparation for their professional roles.
The Role
As a Simulation Technician you will work collaboratively within the simulation team and alongside academics and students to design and deliver creative and innovative simulation and skills-based teaching resources at our state-of-the-art facilities at the Verena Holmes building

The post holders will interact and support faculty and students with the preparation and delivery of simulation and skills-based teaching sessions; setting-up teaching spaces and equipment and taking-down and tidying after events. You will also have opportunities to be creative in contributing to new ideas in the design and set-up of new simulation events. You will also provide technical support during sessions and undertake training of staff and students in the use of our skills equipment, such as life-size person manikins, partial anatomy or task trainers, AR/VR equipment. You will also be responsible for the maintenance of equipment, management of stocks of consumables and assistance with the management of rooms, room bookings and University events.

Experience in a similar role is desirable but interested applicants who can demonstrate good technical and organisational skills will also be considered.
