Role: Clinical Forum Coordinator
Final Date for Applications: Midnight on Sunday 9th November.
Role Scope
The Clinical Forums are a programme of 10 events, held over 10 months of the year on a Saturday, usually during term time. At these events Members present clinical material during a two hour session to Bowlby Trainees, other Members and interested parties from outside the organisation. These events are held on-line but could also be arranged for in-person or hybrid, if there is an appetite from Members and Trainees. These are a key element of the Bowlby Centre’s offer and provide an important opportunity for Members and Trainees to share and pass on, learning and experience.
The role will be free from January 26 (or earlier if the right candidate is available), as the person currently in position steps down in November.

• The Clinical Forum Programme
