At BC Children's

when children and their families can be carefree and
as active as possible. That is where you come in! Reporting
to the Administrative Manager, Cardiac Sciences and
Director, Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology Lab,
you will perform the supervisory duties involved in
the day-to-day operation of the Cardiac Pacing and
Electrophysiology Lab including clinical supervision
of staff, instructing staff, students and physicians
in pediatric electrophysiology, and performing electrocardiograms
and related cardiology diagnostic testing procedures
such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing and cardiac
pacing. You will also organize, direct and monitor
the activities of the pacemaker service and manage
patients who have or will need pacemaker systems. This
role involves the provision of support and education
to patients and family members, and acting as a resource
for other caregivers.
As a graduate from a recognized
program in Cardiology Technology, you have advanced
certification and registration with the Canadian Society
of Cardiology Technologists and three years recent
related experience, including one year of supervisory
experience, or an equivalent combination of education,
training and experience. Completion of Examination
of Special Competency in Cardiac Pacing and Cardioversion
Defibrillation for the Associated Professionals, or
related experience in cardiac pacing, is a must together
with current CPR certification. Able to supervise the
work of other professionals, you thrive in a role where
your technology skills and communications abilities

degree of organizational skills, and facility with
managing the needs of patients as well as their families.
