Job description
Ultrasound Teaching Doctor (Part-Time)
Location: Bromley Emergency Training & Research Ltd, London Bridge
We are seeking a doctor with substantial ultrasound experience to join our teaching faculty. This position is ideal for a doctor working towards UK Registration (e.g., UKMLA/PLAB) or a clinician taking a break from clinical work. There is potential for the role to progress from day-based employment to a more substantive position over time.
Role Overview:
As an Ultrasound Teaching Doctor, you will support the teaching of our ultrasound courses. These courses focus on practical ultrasound skills using normal volunteers, ultrasound simulators, and scannable manikins. You will assist learners by providing guidance on equipment usage, probe handling, image acquisition, and identifying pathological appearances.
On teaching days, you will work alongside an experienced faculty member, moving between different types of ultrasound equipment to offer practical support to candidates. Our learners will range from beginners to those with basic ultrasound knowledge, and your role will be key to building their confidence and proficiency.
Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in practical ultrasound training sessions, focusing on equipment handling, image optimisation, and pathology recognition.
• Provide guidance on the use of various ultrasound systems, including handheld devices and simulators.
• Support learners in developing their skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
• Become familiar with our ultrasound machines, handheld systems (e.g., Butterfly IQ+), and state-of-the-art simulators (Body Works and Heart Works).
• Gain familiarity with our teaching philosophy and actively contribute to the development of learners.
• Work on a flexible, ad-hoc basis with potential for more senior responsibilities in ultrasound teaching and other courses.

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience with ultrasound, either point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) or in diagnostic imaging is essential.
• Familiarity with a variety of ultrasound systems, with the ability to advise learners on image acquisition and the recognition of pathological features.
• Dexterity and confidence in handling ultrasound equipment.
• Strong communication skills to explain concepts clearly to learners with different levels of expertise.
• Willingness to learn and grow within the role, with the potential to take on greater responsibility over time.
• Enthusiasm for teaching and contributing to the development of future ultrasound practitioners.

Course Day Structure:

• Teaching days run from 9:00 am to 5:15 pm.
• Each day includes four practical scanning sessions of approximately one hour each, following a lecture delivered by senior faculty.
• You will be actively involved in all scanning sessions, providing hands-on assistance to learners.

Benefits:

• Competitive daily rate: £150-£175, paid weekly.
• Opportunity to enhance your ultrasound skills and your familiarity with modern ultrasound technology.
• Potential to progress into a salaried, more senior teaching role over time.
• Flexible working arrangements, ideal for those looking for part-time employment while working towards UK registration or managing other commitments.
