Summary
This role requires an ability to work creatively and flexibly to deliver care across the service to our patient population. The post involves direct contact with patients to both educate and issue the appropriate equipment and evaluate adherence across long term use.

Devices include diagnostic equipment for domiciliary sleep screening, CPAP units and consumables for an existing population of over 10,000 patients. The candidate must have a good knowledge of obstructive sleep apnoea and be able to demonstrate this at interview. They should also have excellent communication skills as providing comprehensive education and instruction to patients forms a significant part of this role.

A degree of leadership is expected. One of the primary responsibilities after patient safety is the maintenance of signal quality and candidates will be expected to be able to perform a full bio-calibration prior to the start of each study, re-apply electrodes/sensors when necessary, document accurately any interventions or changes in standard protocol including the initiation of therapeutic devices if indicated. Full training will be delivered. Please see the Job Description and Person Specification for detailed information regarding the responsibilities and requirements for this post.
