Ensuring they are supported effectively and efficiently, whilst embedding and developing the skills/simulation provision within a stimulating, experiential and safe learning environment. An excellent level of customer service is expected to provide general technical support and practice supervision to students and staff as well as maintaining accurate stock records and undertaking a variety of administrative and organisational tasks to support the curriculum.
