About the discipline
The discipline of Diagnostics and Clinical Intervention at the University of Derby plays a vital role in training the healthcare professionals who are often the first to detect, diagnose, and manage illness.
Bringing together areas such as Diagnostic Radiography, Operating Department Practice, and other advanced clinical specialisms, we offer students a blend of cutting-edge theory, hands-on clinical training, and interprofessional learning. Our programmes are closely aligned with NHS standards and delivered in collaboration with industry-leading partners, ensuring our graduates are confident, competent, and workplace-ready.
With access to state-of-the-art simulation facilities and expert academic staff, we support learners in developing the precision, technical expertise, and critical thinking required in fast-paced clinical environments.
About the Role
Our Professional Skills Instructor/Mentors support the development of professional skills, practical, technical, vocational, and associated learning for students and apprentices and, where necessary, support their individual learning needs and progress; monitoring both in the workplace, on placement, at alternative venues, on College/University premises or online. This includes supporting teaching, learning, and assessment, and the provision of work and learning mentoring and coaching. Your role will be to work with our academic teams to support our students develop to their full potential.
Your responsibilities will include:
Supporting teaching, learning, and assessment
Mentoring and coaching to enhance learning and growth
Monitoring progress and addressing individual learning needs
