Are you keen for research and development? If so, this would be the ideal job for a forward-thinking progressive cross-sectional radiographer with an interest in paediatrics to come and be a part of our dedicated and close-knit cross-sectional team in the hospital in the park.
Main duties of the job
The post holder will be required to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team and deliver high-quality research and clinical imaging in the Cross-Sectional service for a variety of paediatric and adult presentations. The post holder must have a flexible approach to the working hours to accommodate the research demands. You are required to work in line with defined protocols and requirements with minimal supervision and with delicate attention to research participants.
The role will include participation in the on-call/ out-of-hours service.
You will work across both CT & MRI modalities at the Alder Hey site joining a team of highly skilled and enthusiastic paediatric radiographers.
You will be required to work closely with principal investigators and members of the research study teams to ensure that both clinical and commercial research trials are performed to agreed timescales and protocols.
About us
We are the paediatric tertiary referral centre for children in Merseyside, as well as much of North West England and North Wales.
The radiology department provides all imaging modalities, including nuclear medicine, ultrasound, CT, MRI and intervention.
Our Cross Sectional Imaging department currently has three MRI scanners, a Philips Ingenia 1.5T and a 3T Ingenia intra-operative system. A third MRI scanner, 3T GE Signa Premier has been installed to form part of the Trust's innovation and research program as part of the 2030 vision. Our CT scanner is a Philips Ingenuity 128 Elite.
We perform a wide range of examinations including advanced neuro imaging (fMRI and intra-operative MRI), advanced cardiac MRI and CT.
We envisage our new MRI scanner to be at the forefront of research and development in both paediatric and adult research for example the Laser Intra-operative therapy trialed at Alder Hey in July 2023.
We are looking for an adaptable, friendly and enthusiastic candidate who would embrace the challenge of working with children. Previous experience in cross-sectional imaging is desirable.
The candidate would be expected to work extended days.
