Our aim is to develop doctors from diverse backgrounds to provide person-centred healthcare in a variety of settings and in response to a wide range of needs.&nbsp;</p><p>Located in Canterbury, we combine the expertise and resources of two excellent universities to create a hands-on clinical experience. Following our successful GMC accreditation in 2025, we are now at a pivotal moment in our journey where there is the chance to consolidate and improve our educational offer. This is an exciting time for exceptional people to take on leadership roles in our School at a time of rapid change and growth at KMMS. &nbsp;</p><p>We are now seeking a dedicated educator and role-model to lead education and the student experience at KMMS. The role provides strategic leadership, operational management, and quality assurance for the medical curriculum, ensuring compliance with GMC and University requirements.&nbsp;</p><p>The postholder will both foster an excellent environment for students, ensuring an inclusive student experience, and also provide inspirational leadership to academic and teaching staff, leading on the management of academic programmes in the School and managing educational excellence. They will have the opportunity to lead a review of the School&rsquo;s undergraduate medicine curriculum with a mind towards continuous improvement. They will be an ambassador for KMMS in the wider university context, and at times will deputise for the Dean of KMMS.&nbsp;</p><p>The postholder will line manage the Heads of Year within the School and will help plan for future programme, and school, expansion. They will be a member of the KMMS Senior Leadership Team.</p><p>Applicants should have significant experience in leading medical education and healthcare programme development. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a strong student-centred approach and exceptional stakeholder management skills.
