Detail information about job Exercise / Cardiac Technician. Terms and conditions vacancy

Dominion Clinic is a private preventive medical clinic in Wellington.  The key focus of our assessments is to provide a means of detecting ill‑health at the earliest possible stage ‑ looking particularly for early warning signs of cancer, heart disease or possible stress‑related disorders.   We carry out a variety of assessments and tests including executive health evaluations, exercise tolerance tests (GP referral), spirometry, vision and audiometry.

The exercise/cardiac technician role is an important and diverse position at Dominion Clinic.  The work is varied and interesting and would suit someone who enjoys working with people and relates well to a wide range of stimulating personalities.  

Key Responsibilities:

-          The exercise/cardiac technician is usually the client’s first contact with the clinic, and so the first responsibility is to provide a welcoming and encouraging demeanour.

-          Measurement of height, weight, BMI and skin folds to estimate body-fat content.

-          Carrying out spirometric lung function tests.

-          Conducting audiogram and vision tests.

-          Recording a resting electrocardiogram (ECG) and carrying out the skin preparation and electrode placement for the subsequent exercise tolerance test.

-          Measurement of resting and exercising blood pressures.

-          Conducting drug and alcohol tests.

With most of the above testing there is plenty of scope for the technician to explain and interpret the results to the client.  

Administrative tasks: 

-          Managing day to day running of the clinic.

-          Talking to prospective clients who ring up to enquire about our assessments and explaining to them what we do and why we do it.

-          Making bookings for client assessments either by phone or email. 

-          Completing client summary reports. 

-          Creating invoices and entering bills into our accounting system (xero).

Skills and Experience:

-          Bachelor of Physical Education or Sport and Exercise Science (or similar).

-          Basic skills in Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook are preferable.

-          Excellent written and verbal communicational skills.

-          Experience with conducting and interpreting spirometry, audiogram and vision tests is preferable.

Dominion Clinic employs an exercise physiologist who you will work closely with; we also have three doctors who carry out the medical examinations that are an integral part of our assessments.  

The hours of work are 8:30am - 5:00pm Monday to Friday, or else 8:00am - 4:30pm depending on client bookings.
