Band 7 Inherited Cardiac Conditions Specialist Nurse

Band 7 Inherited Cardiac Conditions Specialist Nurse

The closing date is 10 February 2026

We offer cardiac screening for patients affected or at risk of inherited cardiac conditions. The ICC team also has a unique specialty of sports cardiology, providing advice and care to athletes with underlying cardiac conditions, allowing for unique opportunities to learn about the cardiac care of an athlete. This is an exciting time for service development with our team, with ongoing plans to advance our care and the role of the specialist nurse within our service.

With all that in mind I am hoping that you are a nurse with experience in inherited cardiac conditions who is keen to develop their skills and project management abilities through development of the sudden cardiac death pathway.

At St George's job satisfaction and professional development is important to us and we have an incredibly supportive team within cardiology to ensure that you develop your skills and career.

I would be more than happy to show you around and go through the job role in more details.

Due to funding this is a fixed term post until the end of October 2027.

The ICC team at St George's Hospital offers specialised care for the diagnosis, symptoms evaluation and management of patients and families affected with inherited cardiovascular conditions. We are a multidisciplinary team working across South-West London receiving supra-regional referrals from Surrey and the UK. We work in close partnership with the Charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) with a focus on families with unexplained sudden death (Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome - SADS).

The service offers dedicated clinics with a family centred approach providing an integrated "one stop" shop assessment. Clinics are dedicated to cardiomyopathies, inherited arrhythmias, paediatric arrhythmias, familial evaluation after a sudden cardiac death, sports cardiology, as well as an aortopathy service.

With nearly 9,000 dedicated staff caring for patients around the clock, they are the largest healthcare provider in southwest London. Their main site, St George's Hospital in Tooting - one of the country's principal teaching hospitals - is shared with St George's, University of London, which trains medical students and carries out advanced medical research. St George's Hospital also hosts the St George's, University of London and Kingston University Faculty of Health and Social Care Sciences, which is responsible for training a wide range of healthcare professionals from across the region.

As well as acute hospital services, they provide a wide variety of specialist care and a full range of community services to patients of all ages following integration with Community Services Wandsworth in 2010. St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust serves a population of 1.3 million across southwest London. A large number of services, such as cardiothoracic medicine and surgery, neurosciences and renal transplantation, also cover significant populations from Surrey and Sussex, totalling around 3.5 million people.

The trust also provides care for patients from a larger catchment area in southeast England, for specialties such as complex pelvic trauma. Other services treat patients from all over the country, such as family HIV care and bone marrow transplantation for non-cancer diseases.
