Job Title: Paediatric Respiratory Sleep/LTV Physiologist
Job Type: Permanent
Hours: 26 hours per week
Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Paediatric Respiratory sleep service. 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.
As part of our team 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 physiologists and nurses, technicians, dedicated long term ventilation team and the wider paediatric respiratory service, including our lead consultant.
Gweithio i'n sefydliad
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
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.

The successful candidate will be responsible for helping to manage the inpatient and home sleep service in coordination with the Sleep & Respiratory Technicians and the Sleep Physiologists.
In this role, your key responsibilities will include:
Organising and running clinics where families are trained to use home sleep study equipment and analyse and provide specialist interpretation of the sleep study results for the Respiratory clinicians.
On two scheduled (according to rota) nights per month you will also run ‘LTV titration’ sleep studies. On these nights you will admit patients, apply sleep study sensors, monitor physiologic signals, and adjust ventilator settings according to a prescription and standardised protocols.
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.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for an enthusiastic physiologist with formal training to a BSc or equivalent level, or with very specific equivalent training and experience in a Respiratory or Sleep Laboratory or similar clinical environment. You must have:

• High level of attention to detail working with numerical and physiological data
• the ability to work independently, assessing and intervening as necessary to ensure patient safety
• the ability to work with respiratory equipment and trouble shoot problems
• good organisation skills and effective time management
• the ability to work flexibly across various shifts, including nights.
We are looking for an individual with excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering outstanding care.
Whether you are an experienced physiologist seeking your next challenge or a developing physiologist looking to build your career within paediatric sleep and respiratory medicine, this role provides a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a service that has a direct and lasting impact on our patients health, wellbeing and quality of life.
Please note that this is a part-time role. Before applying, please ensure that the available hours meet any eligibility requirements relevant to your circumstances.
If you have previously applied for, or been interviewed for, this role and were unsuccessful, we respectfully ask that you do not submit a further application at this time.
