Do you want to start your career in a busy major trauma centre with a fully DR x-ray department? We support a great work life balance with a 4-day working week.
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic radiographers with a keen desire to learn and develop their skills in our busy and exciting department.
The Band 5 Diagnostic Radiographer roles advertised are based in Main Radiology, Denmark Hill, London.
Successful applicants can expect to train and rotate through various sections of the department, including x-ray imaging services for trauma, inpatient, outpatient and general practice referrals using static, mobile and fluoroscopy x-ray imaging systems as appropriate. You will rotate through our theatre departments. There is also opportunity to train in either neuro-theatres (Ziehm and O-arm) screening or endoscopy.
The post holders will contribute to out of hours working within the departments shift system, operational 24/7 Monday to Sunday, including bank holidays and religious festivals. Our roster is designed around staff feedback. Shifts for a standard full time post are organised over a four-day standard working week with extended working days. Night duties are a three shift (Sun-Tue, Wed-Fri) or single (Sat) shift pattern with fixed days off, thus allowing for planning of annual leave around shift work.
The post holders will work autonomously and prioritise work in line with clinical need. They will be accountable for their own professional actions, operate within their scope of practice and will consult senior staff as and when necessary. They will work as part of the wider multidisciplinary team and will take into account the requirements of referring teams in the interests of patient care. They will be responsible for the supervision and teaching of students, assistant practitioners, junior staff and colleagues as appropriate.
