Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
Are you passionate about delivering high-quality patient care and using specialist physiological skills to make a real difference to children's lives? We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Respiratory Sleep/LTV Physiologist to join our dynamic Paediatric Respiratory Sleep team.
In this rewarding role, you will play a vital part in the diagnosis, assessment and management of patients with a wide range of sleep and respiratory disorders, including obstructive sleep apnoea, hypoventilation syndromes and chronic respiratory conditions. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will undertake and interpret a variety of diagnostic investigations, and on dedicated nights you will support the monitoring of non-invasive ventilation therapy.
This position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a service that embraces innovation and research, clinical excellence and patient-centred care. You will be supported to develop your clinical skills and practice by a lead sleep physiologist, senior sleep physiologist and nurses, technicians, dedicated long term ventilation team and the wider paediatric respiratory service, including our lead consultant.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.

You will help manage the inpatient and home sleep service in coordination with the Sleep & Respiratory Technicians and the Sleep Physiologists.

Assist in the management of the waiting list for inpatient studies and coordinate the study dates and diary management for this group of patients.
Training on procedure, policies, equipment and software will be provided.
