Job overview

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic nurse with proven specialist knowledge and experience in cardiology to join our established multidisciplinary Cardiac Rehabilitation Team at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW).

Cardiac rehabilitation at UHCW is delivered across two community sites – the Centre for Exercise Health, Coventry and Rugby St Cross Hospital. The successful post holder will manage a defined caseload across both sites, working to a clear and structured work plan to ensure safe, effective, and patient-centred care.

You will be joining a large and supportive multidisciplinary team and will work alongside other experienced cardiac rehabilitation specialist nurses to collectively manage the heart failure cardiac rehabilitation caseload. 

You will work closely with cardiology, heart failure, and community teams, contributing to the delivery and ongoing development of a high-quality cardiac rehabilitation service aligned with national guidance and standards.

This is an exciting opportunity for a nurse who is passionate about improving outcomes for cardiac patients and delivering holistic, evidence-based care within a supportive and forward-thinking team.

Interview date  10th July at the University Hospital Coventry.

Successful applicants will be required to provide an immunisation and vaccination report, from either their current UK occupational health provider or their UK GP. 

Main duties of the job

A key component of the role will be the management of a dedicated heart failure caseload, supporting patients following diagnosis or hospital admission referred for cardiac rehabilitation. This will include undertaking comprehensive assessments, delivering evidence-based interventions, supporting medication optimisation alongside the wider MDT, and providing education to enable patients to self-manage their condition and reduce the risk of deterioration and readmission.
