About the Role:

The cardiology department at Canberra Hospital provides both inpatient and outpatient services to the ACT and surrounding region. The coronary care unit manages approximately 2,000 acute admissions annually. The department also provides approximately 7,000 occasions of service per year to outpatients, including medical clinics, nursing clinics and cardiac diagnostic investigations and therapeutic interventions (including electrophysiology and cardiac CT). The department provides a 24/7 service for primary PCI for acute ST elevation myocardial infarction for the region. Clinical cardiac electrophysiology services commenced in April 2019 with complex ablation procedures, an arrhythmia clinic and cardiac device clinics. In 2024, Cardiology moved into a new purpose built, clinician designed Heart Care Centre, with two dedicated cardiac catheterisation labs and a state of the art electrophysiology suite.

An exciting opportunity exists for a cardiac scientist to become a part of the cardiology allied health team. This position requires knowledge and competency to work autonomously to independently conduct routine, and assist in complex, cardiac physiology diagnostic investigations and therapeutic interventions according to procedures and published standards. The role includes supporting the operational and quality management requirements of the service with the provision to educate and train staff and students. The role requires participation in and contribution to continual professional development of the cardiac physiology group. This role will involve participation in an on-call roster.

Within CHS, the cardiac science profession is part of the Clinical Measurement Science (CMS) disciplines. The CMS disciplines are cardiac, neurophysiology, respiratory and sleep sciences. Scientific staff employed across CMS work under a collective vision; Clinical Measurement Science professionals deliver compassionate service through collaboration and excellence.
