Band 6 - Plus 12.5% RRP and 5% HCA
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated, enthusiastic individual to join the friendly and supportive Cardiology team at West Herts.
A wide range of procedures are performed in the two recently refurbished catheter laboratories, including:
PCI and PPCI, pressure wire studies, IVUS/OCT imaging and orbital atherectomy Coroventis physiological studies to assess the microcirculation Complex CIED implantation, including LBBA Conventional and 3-D mapping EP studies and ablation.
The Cardiac Devices Clinic provides an extensive CIED follow-up service for all devices and includes a well-established remote follow-up service. The department supports flexible working and gives physiologists the opportunity to work from home.
This is rotational role covering non-invasive areas, pacing and coronary intervention procedure in the cath labs and CRM clinics as service demand dictates.
Extended working hours will be required during cath lab rotations. The post holder will be primarily based at Watford with rotations at St Albans and Hemel Hempstead Hospitals to cover outpatient activities.
The post-holder is expected to use their experience and knowledge to provide a highly professional standard of care. The successful candidate will have BSc in Clinical Physiology, or equivalent, and be expected to have a level of skill and autonomy appropriate to the Band 6 level.
Independent invasive technical expertise will be expected during diagnostic and interventional cardiac cath lab cases, including acquisition of haemodynamic data for left and right heart studies, PCI, PPCI and IABP set up and monitoring. Operation of IVUS and OCT systems with skilled image interpretation are required.
The successful candidate will have experience supporting CIED device implant and follow-up. The post holder must have a desire to achieve BHRS Devices certification, or recognised equivalent, and will be supported by the department throughout the certification process.
The successful candidate will contribute to service improvements, departmental audits, clinical governance and quality assurance. Active involvement in the personal and professional development of other cardiac physiologists and assistant cardiac practitioners is expected.
About usThe post holder will acquire and maintain a high level of professional competence in the performance of all tests, investigations and measurements carried out under the band 6 remit.

improvements, and share the responsibility for quality assurance. Active involvement in the personal and professional development of other clinical cardiac physiologists and assistant cardiac practitioners is required.
The post holder will work in a multidisciplinary team that includes other cardiac physiologists, assistant cardiac practitioners, radiographers, consultants and medical staff, nursing staff and all other personnel either hospital or externally based. The post holder will report to and is accountable to the two Lead Cardiac Physiologists.
