Context of the post

We are looking to appoint a current registered Doctoral student at King's College London to work with a multidisciplinary team from the department of Midwifery and King?s Academy on a project funded by the College Education Fund looking to undertake an audit and evaluation of written assessment feedback for BSc Midwifery students. Looking at the student experience of assessment, this project will design an audit tool to undertake review of written assessment feedback given to students after summative assessment submission for students on the BSc Midwifery curriculum.

The project will focus on students where there has been evidence of an attainment gap in higher education (such as students from a minoritised ethnic group and those with  a SpLD) but will be of whole-cohort benefit. There will be 2 workstreams for the project;

  1. Literature review, and development of the audit tool as part of a codesign process with students and educators
  2. An audit of feedback on global assessment across the midwifery programme

Typical paid duties will include:

  • Assisting in building the evidence base for the project, by reviewing the literature on assessment feedback practices in higher education pre-registration healthcare programmes.
  • Writing up findings into a literature review

 Eligibility, hours and pay

We expect the role to run November 2024-Feb 2025, however there should be flexibility to allow for project needs to be met. Work is not expected to go beyond Feb 2025.

This post will be paid at a Band 5 salary on a weekly basis. It is anticipated that the hours will be on average 7-7.5 per week (some weeks may be slightly more, some less).

You will be hired on a King's Talent Bank hourly paid contract, and they will undertake a Right to Work check. You will need to ensure that taking on this role is not in breach of King's policies or any funding or immigration conditions.

Support provided

You will be expected to work autonomously, but will have support, including:

  • A project induction including from a member of the study team.
  • The Research Assistant will have one-to-one mentoring meetings with one of the project leads (depending on requirements of the work)
