two.1.4) Short description
In support of our MSc Mountain Medicine programme in the School of Medicine we require expert teaching in both mountaineering and the safe delivery of clinical care in mountain environments. This programme combines medical and mountaineering training in a highly practical fashion, with much of the course content being delivered in mountainous terrain both in the UK and abroad.
We bring in medical expertise from a range of clinicians from across the UK. Alongside this we are using qualified mountain guides who come in to ensure both safety (for university staff and students) and deliver training from their specialist mountaineering expertise. We do not hold expertise in either of these elements in-house. The guides are engaged on a day-by-day basis. Guides are required for approximately 84 guide days per year.
We are also in need of engaging a "Lead Guide" who will provide advice and input to the planning and organisation of the programme. This lead guide will also need to be engaged from time to time on a day-by-day basis "just as a guide". The lead guide is required for approximately 100 hours per year.
Please note that all figures are estimates provided for guidance only and are not guaranteed, requirements may increase or decrease.
Essential requirements are;
• UIAGM / IFMGA guiding qualification
• Right to work in the UK
• Right to work in the European Alps
• Ability to work single days and residential blocks in all mountain regions within the UK and in the European Alps
