Job summary
Would you like to work in a small, friendly and collaborative Neurophysiology team alongside a Consultant Neurophysiologist and experienced specialist physiologists? We are looking for experienced Clinical Physiologists to join our staff bank team to provide flexible specialist cover and support the delivery of our Neurophysiology services.
This role offers the opportunity to work across a wide range of specialist investigations while maintaining flexibility through bank working. Appointment will be at Band 6 or Band 7 depending on experience, qualifications and scope of practice.
