Job summary
We are looking for a dynamic and motivated Band 7 Radiographer to join our Team of Lead Radiographers in Plain Film Imaging.
We are a group of enthusiastic radiographers with a passion for care and ensuring good patients' experience whilst working as a team. We work closely with members of the Multidisciplinary Team and other stakeholders through partnership. We operate from two main sites, Queen's and King George Hospitals, as well as other satellite sites, as part of our cross site working.
As a Band 7 Lead Radiographer in the largest modality in Radiology, you will be required to demonstrate strong leadership skills and be focused on good discipline, quality care and ability to work under managed pressure.
Main duties of the job
The post-holder will have responsibility for the provision of, and organisation of, a high quality general radiographic service. The post holder will contribute to the site management of the radiology service and the overall service to the Trust as well as acting as mentor to junior staff and supervising training.
About us
We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. We're no longer in special measures; we've opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal.
We operate from two main sites - KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 88,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff - who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
