University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHSwe’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team.

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
Our department operates Monday to Saturday. You may be asked to participate in Saturday and bank holiday working on a rotational basis, as well as off-site working in community centres
The post will be evenly split between echocardiography and non-invasive cardiology.
Your non-invasive cardiology commitment will give you an opportunity to strengthen your core skills as a cardiac physiologist in areas such as Holter analysis, exercise and pharmacological stress testing, tilt testing, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and stress echocardiography, working towards leading in one of these specialist areas.
In echocardiography you will receive practical and theoretical training to develop your transthoracic echocardiography skills with the aim to be working towards British Society of Echocardiography adult transthoracic accreditation.
Your key roles will be:
1. Learning to perform and report adult transthoracic echocardiograms.
2. Working towards BSE accreditation in transthoracic echocardiography.
3. Non Invasive cardiology clinical testing including adult stress testing, paediatric stress testing, CPET and tilt testing as well as stress echo and pharmacological stress testing
4. Working towards independent tape analysis through a sign off process with the support of a 3-day tape analysis course
There are 3 key attributes we are looking for:
1. The ability and motivation to carry out self-directed learning in addition to the educational opportunities provided by the department.
2. Enthusiasm for echocardiography and non-invasive testing.
3. Excellent team player.
The post will be particularly suited to PTP students that have enjoyed their echocardiography time on placement, and have a passion for Non Invasive clinical testing and would like to focus on these areas of cardiac physiology post qualification with a view to progressing into a more specialist role.
