Chief Cardiac Physiologist

Candidates will have BHRS accreditation or IBHRE exam and a minimum of three years experience post BSc Healthcare Science (or equivalent) qualification

The successful candidate will work on a rotational basis between the devices clinic and the angiocatheter suite. You will manage your own daily caseload and assist in the development of all areas of the cardiac rhythm management service.

We are looking to attract a candidate who is both inspirational and motivational and who can contribute to the education, training and development of junior members of staff.

Applicants are required to have good organisational skills and excellent interpersonal skills and will be required to work as part of a team in this busy department. In return we are able to offer access to training and development opportunities and a wide variety of procedures.

We are a progressive, enthusiastic team waiting to welcome new members and actively encourage continued professional development. We have a defined training pathway via a linked bandings competency model, which means our colleagues can advance from band 5 to band 7 by meeting defined competencies. We are currently supporting trainees through the HSST programme.

The department runs a 24/7 primary PCI service so participation on the on call rota is a key requirement of this role. The Trust is working towards 7 day working so the successful applicant will be expected to work weekends, bank holidays and evenings as part of their shift patterns.

The University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust is based across three sites in the exciting, multicultural city of Leicester, in the heart of England. Leicester is a multi-cultural City which has robust transport links to all parts of the country. It has a lively city centre with restaurants, bars and shopping.

The Trust is one of the largest tertiary cardiac departments in the UK providing a full range of standard and complex, invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests, and routinely performing complex interventional techniques on adult and congenital patients. As a local specialist provider we implant over 900 pacemakers and over 200 ICD's per year, including 150 biventricular devices which are all followed up in our devices clinic.In addition we have two dedicated EP labs where we perform over 700 procedures per year including complex AF and VT ablation using the Carto, Ensite X and Rhythmia mapping systems and newer technologies such as PFA.

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals:

high-quality care for all,

being a great place to work,

partnerships for impact, and

research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

we are compassionate,

we are proud,

we are inclusive, and

we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
