GP Training Programme Director - ARCP (Mat leave cover)

The role of GP Training Programme Director is to work with and support the Heads of School & of Primary Care Dean in leading the delivery of a wide range of functions, aligned to the NHS England mandate. As part of the TPD role candidates will need to continue to be active on the performers list and an active clinician.

The Training Programme Director is professionally and managerially accountable to the Head of School. The Training Programme Director will focus upon improvement of learner supervision, assessment and experience, engagement of faculty and ensuring effective educational outcomes, both now and in the future. The role is evolving and will also focus on whole workforce transformation and developing multi-professional links.

To support the Primary Care Dean & Postgraduate Dean, Training Programme Directors will work across the spectrum of health and where relevant, social care, within the context of a team, so that the provision of education reflects changing service models. This will deliver an integrated workforce comprising individuals from a spectrum of professional and other backgrounds.

This specific role is a deanery led role, 1 session of which is chairing of ARCP panels and supporting TPDs and trainees with panel issues, delivering training to local patches as well as trainers. The other session involves overseeing our trainer’s convenor groups currently in order to ensure we support our trainers in delivery of education and supervision. You need to be able to work independently and work innovatively to support our faculty. Attention to detail as an ARCP chair is important whilst a more strategic outlook with good communications is also key for the second part of the role.

NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.

Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms - enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.

If you currently work within the NHS and 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 process.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.

We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
