Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Perfusionist at any stage of their career to be part of the extensive range of highly specialised services that we provide for our patients. We are searching for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our existing team of Clinical Perfusion Scientists at the Royal Brompton site in South Kensington, London. This position is for either a band 8a Lead Clinical Perfusion Scientist.

Main duties of the job

Applicants should be competent in a wide range of perfusion techniques used in adult cardiac surgery and be familiar with associated therapies such as intra-aortic balloon counter pulsation, intra-operative cell salvage and coagulation monitoring with thromboelastography. Applicants should have good communication skills and be able to work well within a multi-disciplinary team.

In addition, the Royal Brompton Hospital is one of only five centres in England commissioned to provide veno-venous Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for severe acute respiratory failure in adults.

We provide regular seminars and wet lab sessions for the wider theatre team and staff from other departments.

This role would be ideally suited to candidates seeking exposure to perfusion techniques beyond those encountered during routine adult cardiac surgery.
