This is an exciting time to join the Cardiology Department at Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The Cardiology Investigations Unit offers a full range of Non-invasive Cardiology investigations, pacemaker implants, echocardiography and a cath lab. The unit is undergoing expansion with the development of new services, along with the addition of more Consultant Cardiologists.
The Department currently supports 9 Cardiologists across the 2 sites.
We are seeking a Cardiographer to join our busy team. Cross-site working is a requirement.
Cardiographers are vital to the work in Cardiology Investigations Department, working alongside Cardiac Physiologists, performing ECG’s (recording of the heart rhythm), fitting 24hr heart rhythm and blood pressure monitors and 7 day monitors on outpatients and on the wards, and assisting with exercise tests. Cardiographers also provide administrative support to our admin team. Experience of working with computers is an advantage.
Applications are invited from candidates wanting a career in Diagnostic Cardiology. However, if you are motivated, dynamic and looking for a new role in a friendly, local hospital we would be very interested in hearing from you.
Full training will be given with an opportunity to gain the ASCT qualification in Electrocardiography.
