Applicants should have experience of chairing ARCP panels, an understanding of GP training educational assessment and progression, and some experience of managing trainees in difficulty. You will work collaboratively with Training Programme Directors, Heads of School, and the wider educational team to ensure timely, learner-centred, and proportionate decision-making, in line with national and regional guidance. The successful candidate will become part of the senior GP regional educator team working to support the work of the Primary Care Dean in the East Midlands
This is a 2-session fixed term role from 1 March 2026 until 31 March 2027. Remuneration will be at GP03 point of national GP educator pay scale.

We lead the NHS in England by:
• Enabling local systems and providers to improve the health of their people and patients and reduce health inequalities

Earlier this year, the Government announced that NHS England will gradually merge with the Department of Health and Social Care, leading to full integration. The aim is to create a smaller, more strategic centre that reduces duplication and eliminates waste.
If successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the recruitment process.
