Cardiac Physiologist

The Sussex Cardiac Centre is based in Brighton at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. This is a very exciting time to join the Trust as we have undergone extensive modernisation and redevelopment. The 3

Ts project has transformed the Royal Sussex County site delivering a state‑of‑the‑art environment and services. The new Cardiac Diagnostics department is based in the Louisa Martindale Building at the centre of this project.

We are a very busy department providing a wide range of investigations and are looking to expand our team of enthusiastic and motivated physiologists.

This is an opportunity for a dynamic physiologist to join our team. Further training will be provided as necessary and development is actively encouraged. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work in their chosen speciality.

This role is eligible for visa sponsorship under the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) Skilled Worker route; however sponsorship can only be provided where applicants meet the specific requirements set by UKVI, including the relevant skill and salary thresholds (£25,000), and any role‑specific criteria.

The Echocardiography department provides a routine TTE outpatient and inpatient service. Specialised services include 3D, Dobutamine Stress Echo, Exercise Echo, Contrast, Bubble, Adult Congenital and Heart Failure screening. We are actively involved in research studies involving TAVI, ASD and PFO closures. As a BSE accredited department since 2008, we have weekly review and monthly teaching meetings attended by Consultants, Registrars, Cardiac Physiologists and junior staff.

The busy multidisciplinary team within the Cardiac Catheter Labs provides complex structural intervention and PCI. There is a dedicated Electrophysiology Lab and we deliver a full range of EP/Ablation (RF & Cryo) in 2 labs. We have a fast‑expanding service which includes an increase in VT ablations with an excellent success rate.

The continually expanding device service has developed to support all the latest technology as well as a rapidly growing virtual follow‑up clinic. All complex devices are implanted at the centre, including CRT and ICDs. The centre benefits from a Physiologist‑Led ILR Implant and Explant service and has been a pioneer within this field.

Training sessions and meetings occur regularly with excellent support from the Consultant Cardiologists. All physiologists are encouraged to attend relevant courses/meetings and are mentored during completion of BHRS or BSE accreditation. Continued Professional Development is important to our team and post‑graduate exams are actively encouraged.
