Role
Who you are
- You are a people person; you enjoy building productive relationships remotely and in person; people would say you have a high EQ
- You love helping others grow, develop and succeed
- You find you are the "go-to" person for colleagues; you are the person who can either give the answers or find the person who can
- You might be an ex-project manager, scrum master, or maybe from HR. But you've found a calling in helping others succeed; you love to coach and guide
- You have 3+ years of experience in people management
- You have professional experience (in any role) in software, games development, engineering or HR and are genuinely interested in it. You might not be a developer, but you understand how the different roles fit together
- You are kind and fair, you won't swerve hard conversations, and you are comfortable and capable of holding team members accountable for their performance (both deliverables and behaviours)
- You are highly efficient and organised and always get the job done
- You love using new technology, can easily understand it, and then train others
- You like a fast pace and constant change, and being part of a fast-growing business feels exciting
What the job involves
- You'll play an essential role in ensuring our people's success through continuous performance management and coaching. You'll meet with them for regular 121s, quarterly reflection sessions, and career and development planning sessions. You'll provide support and coaching and hold them accountable for their performance and goals
- You'll proactively gather multidirectional feedback for each team member and be excellent at providing constructive feedback
- You'll be your people's first line of support for work and welfare issues
- You'll play a role in acknowledging your team members' successes, whether in a shout-out or a thoughtful, well-done gift
- Occasionally, you must manage poor performance and implement performance improvement plans. You'll offboard team members when needed
- You'll set KPIs and goals in partnership with technical leads
- You'll help with recruitment by being part of the interview team
- You'll know how to navigate OMS, knowing where to find things and who to signpost to
- You'll help us ensure a low-friction experience by resolving issues promptly, reviewing and discussing perks and benefits, and organising team-building activities
- You might work on specific people performance projects, for example, formalising metrics or KPIs
- You'll feed into pay reviews, answer reward questions and act as a two-way channel of communication for all things pay (to individuals and HR)
- You'll oversee and approve your team's expenses; you may be pivotal in organising and facilitating team or project IRL days
- You'll keep everyone honest - ensuring that policies and processes are followed
- You'll facilitate effective communication within the team and also make sure everyone knows how their part supports the overall goal. You'll be great at responding on all our internal communication platforms
- You'll mediate conflicts within the team if they arise, promptly addressing problems affecting team performance or work-life quality
- You'll ensure that the team has the technology and tools to perform effectively. If they don't, you'll know how to flag it
- Because of you, the team can perform at a higher level than ever before. They feel engaged and excited, but most importantly, they feel supported; much of that is down to you
Our take
Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionized our perception of the world, transforming everything from gaming to metaverse boardroom meetings. Oxford Medical Simulation, as the name implies, harnesses VR technology for medical training.
Medical simulation has traditionally relied on hiring actors to portray patients with diverse medical conditions, a costly and time-consuming process that limits the opportunities for medical staff to engage in such training. Oxford Medical Simulation's VR solution provides a scalable and repeatable platform for interactive exercises at a fraction of the traditional cost, greatly enhancing accessibility in medical education. This approach is especially valuable in medical fields like surgery, where traditional methods fall short in simulating real-life scenarios.
The company has firmly established itself in a somewhat niche market and has formed partnerships with various NHS trusts and hospitals throughout the UK. As it moves forward, Oxford Medical Simulation is poised for expansion in its mission to further impact medical education.
