Roleplaynorth at Newcastle University is a well-established team of professional role-players and trainers. Role players support medical roleplay (as simulated patients) across the region for communication skills teaching and exams in Medicine and Dentistry. They can be from all walks of life who are willing and able to learn and portray a role convincingly. Demand for work fluctuates throughout the year and there is flexibility for role players to choose to work only a couple of days a year, if desired. They are offered training and supervision.
Involvement of individuals with BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) background will be very valuable as it would reflect our diverse community and thus is essential in education. If you are interested in applying or would like to find out more, please let us know. If you are successful at interview, you will be offered Newcastle University contingent worker contracts. Starting pay will be £14 per hour.
Note: COVID-19 Update- Due to the current situation some sessions will be going ahead online via Teams or Zoom.
