Job Title: Trainee Advanced Practitioner - Cardiology

Contract Type: Permanent

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic clinician to join our established Cardiology Advanced Practitioner ward team.

Are you an experienced registered Nurse or Allied Health Professional, with a strong interest in Cardiology and a desire to develop as an Advanced Practitioner.

Working alongside Consultant Cardiologists, Advanced Practitioners and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities required to practise at an advanced level, delivering high-quality, patient-centred care to patients with acute and complex cardiology presentations.

You will undertake a recognised MSc in Advanced Practice and develop the capabilities outlined within the NHS England Multi-professional Framework for Advanced Practice in England (2025) across the four pillars of advanced practice:
Clinical Practice, Leadership and Management, Education, and Research. Throughout your training, you will receive structured clinical and educational supervision from the Advanced Practice leadership team and designated medical supervisors.

On successful completion of the MSc advanced practice programme, demonstration of the required advanced practice capabilities, achievement of all specialty-specific competencies, and successful presentation of your portfolio through the Trust's Advanced Practice governance and expert review process, you will progress to a substantive Band 8a Advanced Practitioner role.

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.
