Healthcare Training Faculty & Programme Specialist

Aspen Medical is seeking expressions of interest from experienced international and regional healthcare professionals, clinical educators and subject matter experts for a multi-year healthcare training programme in Syria.

The programme will support the development and delivery of a structured healthcare capability programme for Syrian healthcare professionals, covering core clinical care, digital health, multidisciplinary practice, service improvement, workforce capability and emergency preparedness.

The delivery model will use a combination of international and regional technical expertise, remote programme management and short planned deployments into Syria. These are not permanent resident positions in Syria.

We are seeking expressions of interest across the following disciplines:

• Primary & Emergency Care SME / Clinical Educator
• Public Health & Health Systems SME

Requirements will vary according to the position; however, applicants should generally demonstrate:

• Demonstrated experience training, educating or facilitating qualified healthcare professionals.
• Strong professional English-language capability.
• Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary and multicultural healthcare groups.
• Ability to undertake short international deployments, including into Syria, subject to security and operational approval.

Arabic is not mandatory for every technical specialist position. Dedicated Arabic–English healthcare education support will be available where required. However, professional Arabic, particularly Levantine Arabic, is highly desirable for participant-facing positions and will be given preference where candidates otherwise demonstrate equivalent technical qualifications.
