Job description

Overview

Alder Hey Children’s are recruiting a Cardiac Physiologist who specialises in either echocardiography or cardiac rhythm management, to join our small but growing team.

We are currently seeking forward‑thinking, dynamic and motivated individuals to work at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. The post involves some combination of invasive and non‑invasive procedures, cardiac rhythm management and/or echocardiography, as well as analysing cardiac monitors, exercise testing, catheter lab and ECG.

This role is ideally for a Physiologist with either skills in cardiac device management, keen to be trained into EP procedures, or with skills in echocardiography, keen to develop paediatric and congenital skillsets.

Alder Hey Children’s Hospital is a state‑of‑the‑art healthcare facility offering you the opportunity to work across a wide variety of specialisms. You will be able to develop your clinical and technical skills in a modern and progressive environment.

To bring either echocardiography or advanced clinical arrhythmia skills to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, contributions may still be required in other service areas as skills and needs dictate.

Applicants should be competent in all non‑invasive cardiac procedures; some experience in interventional catheter procedures would be desirable.

You will be expected to demonstrate maturity and experience consistent with this grade to contribute fully to the improvement and advancement of the cardiac physiology service.

As one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals, at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust we treat everything from common illnesses to highly complex and specialist conditions. In addition to our main hospital site, we offer paediatric services at a number of community sites and hold local clinics across Merseyside, Cumbria, Shropshire, Wales and the Isle of Man. We also provide specialist inpatient care for children with complex mental health needs in our recently relocated and newly opened state‑of‑the‑art facility.

Alder Hey has a thriving research portfolio and leads research into children’s medicines, infection, inflammation and oncology. We are becoming recognised as one of the world’s leaders in children’s healthcare and research. We contribute to public health, lead cutting‑edge research and teach the next generation of children’s specialists. Alongside this is our Innovation Hub, a dedicated space where clinicians and industries can come together to create new products and technologies.
