The successful candidate will be employed on Annexe 21 of a band 7 (agenda for change) until they obtain BSE accreditation in adult transthoracic echocardiography and align to internal competencies as an autonomous practitioner. Following this they will progress on to their full band 7.

The successful candidate will work with a designated mentor and follow an agreed training plan with the ultimate aim of gaining British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) Accreditation in adult transthoracic echocardiography. This will involve training on site at Royal Stoke Hospital, County Hospital and the soon to opened, Community Diagnostic Centre in Stoke-on-Trent.
