Join our expanding Respiratory Investigations team at an exciting time of service growth as we prepare for the opening of the new Peterborough Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) in October 2026.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Respiratory Physiologist to support the delivery of high-quality respiratory diagnostics across Peterborough City Hospital, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and the new CDC.

Applicants who do not yet meet all Band 6 criteria may still be considered under Annex 21 NHS Terms and Conditions arrangements, with structured support and competency development towards substantive Band 6 progression.

Main duties of the job

• Perform and report a range of respiratory diagnostic investigations.
• Support safe, high-quality patient care across multiple Trust sites.
• Work collaboratively with physiologists, clinicians and the wider MDT.
• Participate in service development, audit and quality improvement activity.
