The Vascular Laboratory at King's College Hospital is recruiting for Clinical Vascular Scientists. Applications are invited from those with accreditation with Society for Vascular Technology (SVT/CSVS) or HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist in vascular science.  We have flexible options for full time and part time working.

Please note that this post includes Inner London HCAS, and recruitment and retention premium of £5000 with a salary range £59320 to £65981 depending on experience.

Applications are also encouraged from those working towards a qualification in vascular ultrasound to be considered at band 6.

The Vascular lab is one of the busiest vascular ultrasound departments around and represents an amazing opportunity to develop your skills in this area.  We perform a complete set of vascular ultrasound investigations including;

• Transcranial imaging for the national paediatric sickle cell screening program
• Renal artery and transplant kidney
• Vascular access for dialysis fistula and mapping including for endo-AVF
• Specialist work for diabetic foot including pedal arterial and ultra-distal bypass graft surveillance
• Urgent scans for vasculitis such as GCA pathways
• Guidance for endo-venous work
• All the usual scans such as peripheral arterial and venous and carotid.

The department is fully committed to providing individually tailored support to enable you to add to your existing experience, so full training can be provided in areas not already within your scope, and as a big team we always aim to ensure sufficient senior support is available while encouraging independent practice.

We ensure all scientists have allocated time away from direct patient care to participate in audit and project work and we have had multiple projects presented at a variety of conferences, including prize winning papers produced by the team.  We also have a daily co-ordinator role which everyone participates in. 

Vascular scientists at King’s are respected members of a variety of different MDTs within the Trust including vascular, neurovascular, renal and haematology and we encourage active participation in these groups.

We encourage all scientists to develop their careers.  We have a strong history of building our staff, our senior team of six Band 8 scientists all started here as trainees or in band 7 roles.  We place high value in our team.

Many of the team will be at the CSVS annual scientific meeting in Brighton this year so come and say hello and ask informally about the department.  We look forward to seeing you there!
