Summary

A Vacancy at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

St George’s Hospital is seeking a highly motivated Lead Cardiac Physiologist to manage paediatric and neonatal echocardiography services within a Level 3 local Cardiology Centre, part of a wider tertiary paediatric centre.

This is an exciting career opportunity for an accredited congenital Cardiac Physiologist/Clinical Scientist with excellent interpersonal skills, advanced expertise in Congenital Heart Disease and Paediatric Echocardiography, and NHS experience. You will lead service design and management while delivering specialist care.

You will be supported by the Head of Cardiac Physiology, Neonatal Care Group Lead, Paediatrician with Expertise in Cardiology and Consultant Paediatric Cardiologists from supporting tertiary centres. You will join a team of nearly 80 Cardiac Physiologists, administrative and support staff working alongside Paediatric Consultants.

The department is part of the Cardiology Clinical Academic Group (CCAG), delivering high quality care and leading international research.

St George’s is one of London’s largest children’s hospitals, with one of four paediatric trauma units in London, south-west London’s only paediatric intensive care unit, a top-three specialist paediatric surgery centre and excellence in foetal medicine.

Benefits include an on-site nursery (limited places), outdoor gym, inclusivity groups, social and sporting clubs, and NHS discounts via mylifestylehub.co.uk.

You will be expected to lead the training and development of Cardiac Physiologists and Neonatal and specialist Paediatric medical staff. The post holder would be expected to support and mentor trainees in achieving EACVI accreditation in Congenital Heart Disease and would themselves be given support with their own continued professional development to attend lectures, seminars, and relevant courses. They will coordinate CPD, education, and cross-site training at designated tertiary centres and ensure a high-quality service by monitoring and updating departmental policies, protocols, and processes as appropriate.

You will be required to have AHCS/RCCP or HCPC registration and have BSc in Clinical Physiology or AHCS PTP or STP equivalency certificate. Full certification in EACVI Congenital Heart Disease is mandatory for this role. We welcome interest from all skilled Cardiac Physiologists/Clinical Scientists with a suitable background in paediatric echocardiography.

St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).

After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.

At gesh we are committed to supporting flexible working arrangements. Applicants are encouraged to discuss any flexibility they may need during the recruitment process.
