Senior MRI Radiographer (Diagnostic) Band 6 Permanent/part-time/bank Interviews to be held Saturday 21st September 2024 Are you a skilled and enthusiastic MRI Radiographer looking to make a big impact? We are looking for experienced and hardworking staff to support our brand new state of the art Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) at Milford, Surrey. The CDC is part of Royal Surrey’s continuing investment in its diagnostic capabilities and follows refurbishment of the Trust’s interventional suite, MRI and X-ray facilities. The role will be rotational between the new CDC and our busy District General Hospital in Guildford, which boasts a leading Cancer Centre and a minimal invasive Cardiac Unit offering both Cardiac MRI and CT. At the CDC we have two brand new Siemens Magneton MRI scanners (3T Vida and 1.5T Sola) as well as a brand new GE Ascend CT scanner. At The Royal Surrey site in Guildford, we have just completed our new department refurbishment and installed Philips 1.5T and 3T MRI scanners. Previous cardiac and 3T experience is preferred. Patient safety is our priority and applicants will be expected to demonstrate a sound knowledge of MRI safety and physics. We cover a very wide portfolio of scans from paediatrics and cardiac, small bowel imaging through to MSK. We do our own protocolling of patient forms and also request and report our own IOFB X-rays. The MRI radiographers provide an exceptionally high-quality MR service to patients and take an active role in the training and development of junior colleagues and students. The post holder will need excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a caring and professional attitude. Successful candidates will be expected to undergo some formal in-house training in MRI as appropriate and cannulation training if not already experienced and certified in this. We all participate in the department CPD programme. Our Diagnostic Strategy includes expanding our services and resources of both staff and equipment within this hospital and in the community, which will in turn support career progression of our staff. Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure. We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding. Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us. Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so you are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
