Bradford is expanding it's imaging department and are looking for new team members to join us. Are you an innovative and dynamic cardiac scientist looking for a new challenge? We are looking for someone with a passion for cardiac science who can be part of our growing imaging service.

We provide a wide range of complex cardiac and respiratory investigations including cardiac and metabolic stress testing, TTE, TOE and stress echocardiography. We have recently developed scientist led clinics in exercise stress echocardiography and valve disease surveillance. Bradford has a diverse population and the range of pathology makes for an interesting and challenging caseload. There is a significant paediatric echo service which could be expanded if the post holder has an interest in CHD. We are about to complete a large dedicated Cardiology IT system project, pulling together all the clinical and admin systems across the department. We have just undertaken a UKAS benchmarking exercise which found our services to be safe with areas of excellent care, and staff demonstrating good clinical knowledge and commitment to providing the best patient care possible. We are now moving towards submitting our application to attain IQiPS accreditation.

We are looking for someone who is keen to develop their colleagues as well as themselves. Professional and personal development are really encouraged and we have a dedicated training budget in order to facilitate this.
