We are looking for a passionate and highly motivated Sonographer to join SWBH NHS Trust at a very exciting time, as we have recently moved into our state-of-the-art, brand new, £100m Hospital.
Joining a team with the privilege to work with all the very latest equipment in a purpose-built environment designed to our own specifications.
SWBH is a friendly, integrated healthcare provider focused on improving the life chances and health outcomes of our diverse population. Harnessing ambition, investment, commitment and the contribution of our people, our vision is to be the UK's best integrated care provider. We're already on our way to achieving this. We've trebled our training budget, enhanced the way we recognise our people and are constructing career pathway frameworks. Our people have names, they have voices, they have a family here. As we create greater levels of service integration, we know where we're going and we know we won't get there alone. That's why we want you to join us.
Great care can change everything. Like you, everyone here at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust wants to be a part of truly brilliant, integrated care. And just like you, we're ambitious about what we do. We're always seeking ways to do more and be better for our patients.
Main duties of the job
The successful candidates will be joining a motivated workforce that welcomes new challenges as we work together to provide the very best care and service for our patients.
Qualified Sonographers with CASE approved qualifications are welcome to apply as we would like to expand and improve our service. We are looking for obstetric and gynaecology Sonographers and Sonographers with at least 2 areas of specialty. Previous NHS experience is desirable.
We would particularly like people who have an interest in training and mentoring trainee sonographers to apply as we are planning to nurture the next generation of sonographers with our forward-thinking workforce strategies.
If this type of new adventure appeals to you then come and talk to us where we can organise an informal visit. We are sure you will be impressed by what we have to offer you.
