An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a small specialist team in the Dental Radiology Department, within the Newcastle Dental Hospital. You will be an enthusiastic autonomous Radiographer wishing to extend their skills and expertise whilst working in a team-based environment. The role has a high teaching commitment to a range of students. Therefore, this post will suit individuals that enjoy teaching and are confident presenting technical information to both students and colleagues.
You will be responsible for supporting the Superintendent Radiographer in ensuring that our service users’ needs are met through the delivery of high-quality care.
Experience of Dental Radiography would be advantageous but not essential as training will be provided. This is an excellent opportunity for a current Band 5 Radiographer looking for promotion to a Senior Specialist Radiographer, as well as substantive Band 6 Radiographers looking for a new challenge.
Applicants must hold a degree level or equivalent qualification in Diagnostic Radiography, be HCPC registered, and have a working knowledge of NHS Policies and Procedures.
The main duties will include teaching undergraduate dental and therapy students, dental nurses, and BSc Radiography students in the technical application of intra-oral and panoramic radiography. You will also perform Cone Beam CT, cephalometric radiography, and assist the Oral Maxillofacial Consultant Radiologist with ultrasound and sialography.
The post holder will be encouraged to take on additional responsibilities, including Quality Assurance, Reject Analysis, audits, and teaching seminars. They will also have an element of line management responsibility.
You will offer a person-centred approach to patient independence and well-being and provide a high standard of diagnostic imaging to a wide range of patients, many of whom may be distressed, emotional, and anxious, including dental phobic patients. Therefore, you will need to gain their confidence and be able to put them at ease very quickly, to achieve the required high-quality diagnostic radiographs.
As a flexible working friendly organisation, we want to be sure that you can work in a way that is best for us, our patients, and you. Speak to us about how we might be able to accommodate a flexible working arrangement. If it works for the service, we will do our best to make it work for you.
