University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust
We are looking to recruit high-quality radiographers who can offer experience in either CT, MRI or both.
Our Trust is based across two large hospitals, the Royal Bournemouth and Poole Hospitals. Across the organisation, we have 6 Canon CT scanners, 4 Siemens MRI scanners, 2 Phillips MRI scanners and an Esaote Extremity MRI scanner.
We have a large new trauma centre currently being completed at Bournemouth and we will imminently be adding 3 additional state-of-the-art CT scanners to our portfolio. In CT, we perform a large amount of orthopaedic, neuro and chest/body studies, as well as specialist examinations such as cardiac, angiography, colonography and ablations. In MRI, we have the opportunity to perform orthopaedic, spine, angio, liver, cardiac, breast, prostate, head & neck and arthrography. In reality, there is not a great deal of examinations that we are not undertaking.
This post will be based initially solely at Poole Hospital; however, please note that once the new trauma centre in Bournemouth is open, the role will involve working also on the Bournemouth site.
The shifts are currently over a 4-day working week; Monday to Sunday (including bank holidays), and consist of 7am-5pm, 8am-6pm, 10am-8pm, 1pm-11pm and a night shift of 10pm-8am. In addition to this, you would be required to participate in the MRI on-call rota out of hours.
Base Location: Bournemouth/Poole Hospital
Interview Date: TBC
Main duties of the job We benefit from a dynamic, advanced thinking team of radiographers and assistants who enjoy good working and social relationships. There is excellent support for CPD, such as IV cannulation training, study days and courses. This department is committed to staying at the forefront of technology as well as all the latest CT & MR scanning techniques.
We offer the possibility to be recruited as a band 5 and receive training, or, if you already have previous experience in CT or MRI, to join us straight as a band 6 radiographer. If however you then require training in the other modality, this is not a problem - we are always keen to develop our team.
About us Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued team mates and colleagues.
UHD is investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
In some cases, this means that services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions that you have at interview.
