Consultant in Cardiology with an Interest in Pacing
We are seeking to recruit an innovative and progressive Consultant with an interest in pacing to join our Cardiology team. The appointee will cover our new hospital Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH) during the on-call with outpatient clinics at City Hospital Birmingham and/or Sandwell General Hospital.
Applications are welcomed from candidates with CCT (or equivalent) with an interest in Pacing who are on the General Medical Council’s Specialist Register in Cardiology or who will be within six months of obtaining their CCT at the time of interview. In addition, applicants should demonstrate within their application that they are fully trained in general Cardiology, can manage Cardiology on-calls and can perform simple and complex pacing independently. This job is a substantive post.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform first-class pacing (simple and complex devices) for elective outpatient cases and urgent inpatients, including temporary pacing where required.
- Perform on-calls for Cardiology wards and general cardiology 1 in 10 (with internal cover).
- Cover clinics (general Cardiology & specialty), ward rounds, and administration duties.
- Provide flexible pacing cardiac catheter laboratory cover.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Role Details
- The post will be based primarily at MMUH for ward rounds, pacing cath lab, and on-calls.
- The Trust has reconfigured its services in preparation for the implementation of the Right Care Right Here Programme, and the post-holder is therefore required to have outpatient work continuing on at least one of the other sites.
- Take equal responsibility with existing Consultants for the proper functioning of the clinical service, working with clinical and managerial colleagues towards achieving and maintaining national maximum waiting times and developing clinical pathways.
