About us
At UCL Medical School (UCLMS), we are dedicated to delivering world-class undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. Renowned for our excellence in teaching and curriculum development, our approach is rooted in innovation and underpinned by the latest research. We offer a vibrant, forward-thinking environment where clinical expertise and academic rigor come together to shape the future of healthcare.
Our 6-year MBBS programme is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud of our commitment to fostering a culture of scholarship, excellence, and continuous improvement. As part of our mission, we are currently undertaking a comprehensive curriculum review to respond to the evolving NHS landscape, the increasing integration of information technology in healthcare, and the introduction of the GMC’s national Medical Licensing Assessment.
The Lecturer (Teaching) plays a key role in this transformation—working collaboratively with our Quality Assurance and Enhancement Team, supporting students in quality improvement initiatives, and contributing to curriculum innovation through stakeholder engagement and feedback.
Joining UCLMS means becoming part of a passionate team of educators and clinicians who are not only shaping medical education today but also preparing the next generation of doctors to lead in a dynamic and rapidly changing healthcare system
About the role
We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic Lecturer (Teaching) to join UCL Medical School and play a key role in delivering and enhancing our 6-year MBBS programme.
Reporting to the MBBS Senior Leadership Team and working closely with the Quality Assurance Team, you will use your clinical and educational expertise to gather feedback from students and staff, liaise with stakeholders, and prepare reports for the University and regulatory bodies. A core part of the role involves supporting students—training course representatives, mentoring quality improvement projects, and guiding students through our Raising Concerns procedures.
You will also support the day-to-day running of the MBBS course, acting as a Personal Tutor, contributing to admissions and outreach activities such as Open Days and Widening Participation events, and assisting in student interviews.
In addition to teaching and assessment, you’ll be encouraged to engage in e-learning, educational scholarship, and curriculum development. You will also contribute to wider departmental activities, including research, public engagement, postgraduate teaching, and work with our education consultancy, CIMEC.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a passion for education to influence the future of medical training while developing their own career in medical education.

- You will be placed on CL8 if jointly combined with a medical role or G8 if standalone teaching position.
About you
You hold a primary medical qualification and full GMC registration, bringing proven experience in teaching and assessment at undergraduate level. You have a strong understanding of pedagogy and are passionate about medical education, with a commitment to delivering high-quality learning in both clinical and non-clinical settings.
You work well both independently and within a team, with excellent communication skills and a collaborative, student-focused approach.
