The Radiology Department delivers high quality imaging across a range of modalities using a patient centred approach. The successful candidates would be expected to work as part of a team based at one of the Trust main sites, providing imaging across a range of modalities including intraoperative screening.

There would be a requirement to operate a wide range of modalities once appropriate training has been completed.
Good organizational, interpersonal and communication skills are essential and knowledge of the current radiation legislation is required.
