Job overview
Wythenshawe Hospital is looking for full-time enthusiastic radiographers to work in MR scanning. You should have proven basic MRI imaging skills and the ability to work flexibly over 7 days in 12-hour shifts.

Wythenshawe undertakes a wide range of examinations, including vascular, gynaecological, GU, gastro, neurological, and muscular skeletal. Training will be given for more complex or department-specific scans. You will also gain experience in breast biopsy, paediatric GA scanning, pacemaker scanning, and complex vascular scanning techniques.
RMCH undertakes scans under both GA and sedation, along with providing scanning capacity for all urgent emergency care patients and in-patients. Collaborative work with a multi-disciplinary team, including health play specialists is required.
MFT is committed to staff development and currently supports a radiographer reporting of MR musculoskeletal examinations.
