Guy’s and St Thomas’ Echocardiography Department
Highly Specialist Cardiac Physiologist (Echocardiographer) Band 7
This role is in receipt of short-term Recruitment & Retention Premia (RRP). This supplementary payment will be reviewed annually
Be part of an extraordinary team.
We are seeking to recruit a qualified echocardiographer to join our renowned and expanding department. We have a strong record in research and developing new clinical services and patterns of working. We have been instrumental in developing national standards for echocardiography and for developing the new clinical scientist discipline. At an individual level we focus on role development with scientist-led valve, ACHD, cardio-oncology and ICC screening clinics and our own TOE and bubble lists. Opportunities for continuing professional development are excellent and studying for postgraduate qualifications is encouraged. Health Education England have commissioned five HSST (Higher Specialist Scientific Training) posts in Cardiac Science here at GSTT in recent years. We are actively encouraging our echocardiographers to seek equivalence via the Academy for Healthcare Science and become registered with the Health and Care Professions Council as Clinical Scientists. Our five echo-specialist cardiologists have wide ranging interests including stress echo, 3D, valve disease, heart failure, CRT and adult congenital heart disease.

Successful candidates will be part of a rotation to give you widespread exposure across all three sites.
Role Suitability
This position would suit an echocardiographer with a good grounding in transthoracic echocardiography and an interest in developing their skills within a specialist area. We have some flexibility in direction of role development so the field of expertise will depend on the individual’s aptitude and interest in conjunction with service requirements. The successful candidate will be expected to motivate, develop and lead a small team within their area, be responsible for specialist training and service development and to work closely with the Head of Echocardiography to achieve this. BSE accreditation or an equivalent qualification is essential. Part-time positions will be considered.
