Highly Specialised Cardiac Echocardiographer
Due to the expansion of our cardiac services, we are pleased to offer the opportunity for a Highly Specialised Cardiac Echocardiographer to complement our Cardiac Physiology team here at University Hospitals Dorset.
We are a forward-thinking team that consistently strive to improve and develop our services and encourage all team members to actively engage in this process. Continued professional development is supported through weekly departmental meetings and MDT imaging reviews as well as regular attendance at national conferences. We support a four-day working week at UHD in order to provide an improved work-life balance for our staff. Standard hours are 08:00-18:00 however this can be discussed.
The successful candidate will hold BSE accreditation, be enthusiastic and passionate about improving patient-centred care, and be motivated about providing in-house training for junior physiologists. Clinical skills in either cardiac rhythm management or PCI are desirable but not essential.
The post is for a full-time position; however, part-time applicants will be considered. This post will include Saturday working on a rotational basis.
