We are looking for an experienced Senior ATO or Healthcare Science Associate to join our busy department for a twelve month fixed contract.

Cardiac Centre provides both an invasive and non invasive  diagnostic service.

You would be expected to perform 12 lead ECGs and apply different types of ambulatory devices. These include Lifecards and Novacor monitors. Being  able to analyse independantly would be an advantage as would experience in exercise testing or tilt table.

We are proud to be in the top 20 best hospitals to work for in the country. 

We are committed to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment. This can be seen in our growing community of staff networks – celebrating successes and creating opportunities to listen and learn. We value our differences, champion kindness and civility, and truly believe that diversity makes us stronger.

A culture of learning, developing and innovating is the thread that runs throughout our whole organisation. We want to support you to thrive, taking your career to its full potential.

We value staff wellbeing, with a well-established programme of support. We believe in a holistic approach spanning all aspects of living a healthy life, including physical, emotional, spiritual and financial wellbeing. We’ve even got a pool!

We are committed to supporting you and hope you want to join our team. In the meantime, find out more about living and working the beautiful historic city of Bath, learn about our extensive package of staff benefits, and read about how we’re providing healthcare fit for the future with the landmark Dyson Cancer Centre and our passion for research.
