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 an experienced cardiac scientist to join our dynamic and dedicated allied health team. This pivotal role requires significant expertise and the ability to work autonomously, independently conducting complex cardiac diagnostic investigations and therapeutic intervention using up-to-date evidence-based medicine to enhance patient outcomes. Key responsibilities encompass overseeing the cardiac physiology service, providing support to allied health staff, and spearheading the development and implementation of educational programs for both staff and students. Active participation in the continual professional development of the allied health team is essential. 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.
