Neurophysiology Scientist

About the role

This is a dynamic theatre-based role involving the delivery of intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring across neurosurgical, spinal, vascular and related procedures. You will work closely with surgeons, anaesthetists, and theatre staff, providing real-time interpretation and communication of neurophysiological data to support intraoperative decision-making by surgical teams. The role requires flexibility, independence, excellent communication skills and a high level of clinical responsibility.

Key responsibilities

• Perform intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) across a range of neurophysiological modalities

• Set up, calibrate, and troubleshoot monitoring equipment in the operating theatre

• Apply electrodes accurately to optimise recording and stimulation parameters

• Interpret and communicate real-time waveform changes to the surgical team

• Develop and discuss monitoring strategies pre-operatively with surgeons and anaesthetists

• Select appropriate monitoring modalities based on procedure specific surgical risk and patient anatomy

• Maintain sterile technique and adhere to hospital protocols at all times

• Complete detailed post-operative reports with analysis of findings

• Maintain accurate clinical records and ensure confidentiality of patient data

• Perform routine equipment maintenance, troubleshooting, and safety checks

About you

• Degree in Neurophysiology, Neuroscience, biomedicine or a related field

• Experience in intraoperative neurophysiology monitoring (IONM) will be highly regarded but not essential

• Experience in clinical neurophysiology or a related field is advantageous

• Strong knowledge of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropharmacology

• Ability to work independently in high-pressure surgical environments

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey critical information clearly

• Well-developed interpersonal skills and the ability to build and maintain positive relationships with surgeons, anaesthetists, and theatre staff

• High level of organisation, attention to detail, and accountability

• Adaptability to evolving surgical techniques and technologies

• Self-motivated with a commitment to continuous learning and clinical development
