Full Job Description

You will be expected to be an independent practitioner in Adult Transthoracic Echocardiography and to participate in specialised procedures such as TOE, Stress Echo, and Contrast/Bubble Studies, working closely with the Cardiologists. Newly qualified staff will be supported to develop experience and gain additional competencies required. Professional and personal development are encouraged. Continuation of professional development within the role is essential. The successful applicant will also be able to perform a variety of diagnostic tests provided by the department.

This is an exciting time to join our busy Cardio-Respiratory Department. QEH has recently welcome 2 additional cardiologists. We are looking for an enthusiastic and aspirational individual to help us develop echo services for West Norfolk. We have a patient centred attitude, striving to provide the best possible care for our patients in a positive and supportive environment within the Trust. Learning and development are encouraged and heavily supported within our department. Applicants should be able to demonstrate extensive expertise within echocardiography, have excellent communication, time management and interpersonal skills with a willingness to participate in teaching, training, and mentoring at all levels.

There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open in 2030 and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken. Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond. At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs. We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships. We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome. We love working here and think you will too., Everyone within the Trust has or will shortly need to have a minimum level of skill for computer literacy for their day-to day- work as we become more digitally mature. Therefore all staff should be computer literate. Team QEH are one of the most research-active organisations for our size in the UK, recruiting 2,188 in 20/21 and ranked 10/16 in the Eastern Region. We have a wide-ranging and diverse portfolio of clinical studies and also recognised as one of the fastest trusts in the country from set up to recruitment.
