This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in the Adult Sleep Team at University Hospital Southampton (UHS). Our sleep service is expanding, and we are looking for an Assistant Sleep Physiologist (Band 2) to join the team, on a permanent and part-time basis (15h/week). As a service we accept referrals for sleep-disordered breathing, parasomnias, circadian rhythm and movement disorders, and work closely with other specialist areas (such as NIV and neurology services), to offer a multidisciplinary team approach to our patients.

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.

• 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.

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 supporting the Sleep Physiology Team in delivering an efficient service to our patients, mostly within an inpatient setting (one night shift per week). However flexibility will be expected to support with outpatient activity as required. You will participate in the care of patients attending the service for diagnostic sleep testing and will offer continuous support to patients on long-term CPAP therapy. You will also help managing our patient support line, assist with effective stock management, maintenance of equipment and consumables used within the adult sleep service. You will work collaboratively and co-operatively with other colleagues on a day-to-day basis, to meet patient and service needs.

The successful applicant will be organised, reliable, proactive and have the ability to work flexibly. A keen eye for detail and accuracy is also required. You will be based at Lymington New Forest Hospital.
