Revalidation Manager (Maternity Leave Cover)

The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine (FPM) is a charity and membership body for doctors who work on all aspects of medicines research and development. Our small team work closely with the Board of Trustees and our 1,600 members to deliver on our mission and our strategic objectives, to improve the health of patients around the world.

Medical revalidation is the regulatory process through which doctors who are licensed to practise in the UK demonstrate on a regular basis that they remain up to date and fit to practise. FPM’s role in this important process is that of the ‘designated body’ for a named group of almost 700 FPM members.

The FPM revalidation team provides the administrative and governance resource which underpins ensuring compliance with the exacting legislation. With 80 appraisers, three Appraisal Leads and a Responsible Officer, none of whom are based in the office, the three members of the revalidation team have a large amount of often quite complex correspondence to manage and must ensure that there is a consistent message and approach across a wide range of topics.

An opportunity has arisen to join the revalidation team in the role of Revalidation Manager for a 12-month period of maternity leave. A key focus of the role is to manage the registration of newly connecting doctors, as well as overseeing the operation of the revalidation e-portfolio system. The role involves regular contact with both appraisers and appraisees who are doctors and FPM members.

We are looking for a bright, dynamic self-starter who is a team player, organised and can communicate well. The post holder will be fully trained, well supported and work closely with the Revalidation Co-ordinator, Head of Revalidation Operations, appraisal leads and the Responsible Officer in supporting 700 appraisees and 80 appraisers.

FPM offers a fantastic benefits package, including flexible working, 29 days annual leave, Christmas closure days and cycle to work scheme. The role is offered on a full-time, temporary basis, subject to successful completion of the 3-month probation period.

FPM welcomes and actively seeks to recruit people regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation.
