Summary
Are you an experienced congenital cardiac physiologist seeking to take your career to the next step? Are you looking for an opportunity to use your skills and experience to develop services and train the next generation of cardiac physiologists? Nottingham University Hospitals Trust are looking for an experienced, senior physiologist to lead the congenital echo service.
Due to recent expansion and development of our adult echo services we are looking for a new leader to support the team of physiologists based at our QMC campus. The successful candidate will work alongside the adult echo lead and under the supervision of the non invasive service manager and paediatric consultants to help us to continue providing high quality care to our patients through direct clinical working, service development and workforce training.
You will be highly collaborative in your approach to the role with excellent communications skills and the ability to motivate and inspire your team.
We welcome applications from very experienced congenital sonographers with relevant accreditation (BSE congenital accreditation or EACVI CHD).
Clinical work forms 60% of this post to maintain skills and contribute to service delivery. The remaining 40% of the role will involve implementing new techniques, producing and maintaining guidelines and SOPs, teaching physiologist and clinical colleagues and auditing your service.
You will also be responsible for the day to day management of the department, dealing with staff absences and appraisals alongside the adult echo lead. Although this is primarily a paediatric congenital role you will also be expected to review and advise on adult echo in the absence of the adult echo lead.
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
Come and join our wonderful team at NUH. We are big believers in diversity and welcome new ideas to help develop our team in order to deliver world class healthcare to the vast patient populations we serve.
