Come and join our friendly team, we are happy to discuss flexible ways of working.
The Radiology department in Hereford has undergone significant changes over the last 5 years since entering into a partnership with Philips and you will have the opportunity to work with up to date technology. In 2021, we opened a new interventional suite, new MRI scanners, and our third CT scanner.
This post offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the delivery of our Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC), due to open in the Summer of 2025 in Hereford. The Community Diagnostic Centre will incorporate Imaging (Plain X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI), a range of cardiorespiratory investigations and pathology services in a "one stop" location to obtain diagnostic information.
Successful candidates will work at the Hereford County Hospital site initially and then in rotation between the hospital site and our CDC site which will open in 2025.
Prospective candidates are welcome to have an informal discussion with Mrs Leah Hughes (Operational Clinical Lead Radiographer) on 01432 364450.
Main Duties of the Job
The successful candidates will be expected to have B.Sc Diagnostic Radiography or equivalent qualifications or due to qualify in Summer 2024. Our band 5 rotation will include rotation into CT, general x-ray, theatres and mobiles and working towards cannulation certification within the first 6 months. We are a busy department and there is a requirement for applicants to participate in our 24/7 shift system as well as weekend on call for theatre.
The post holder will be expected to produce imaging to the highest standards, offer training and support for diagnostic radiography students from BCU, University of Gloucester and University of Worcester.
