Job description

Job summary

Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) has a vacancy for a Consultant Paediatric Radiologist. Dual sub specialty interests would be welcome. The successful candidate would be expected to also contribute to the general work of the department including the general diagnostic radiology on call.

The post holder is required to have full registration with the General Medical Council & a valid licence to practice and be on the specialist register for Radiology or be within 6 months of CCT or equivalent at the time of interview. We would encourage any interested candidates to contact the Directorate management team for further discussion.

The NCA model will ensure a shared governance framework across the Care Organisations to reduce variations in clinical practice, accelerate improvements in patient outcomes and improve productivity. This provides exciting opportunities for collaborative working in order to work efficiently, grow capacity and improve quality.

Our vision is to develop and deliver a high quality Radiology service by recruiting and retaining well motivated high quality staff in a structure which is up to date, fit for purpose, provides job satisfaction and a good work life balance. We have a vision to be the employer of choice for Radiology staff in the Northwest.

The successful candidate will contribute to the general diagnostic work of the department, including on call at one of the two sites. The frequency of this will depend on the site chosen. Both oncall rotas are low frequency and rely on overnight outsourcing. Consultants are expected to provide prospective cover for annual and study leave.

The post holder will be expected to work closely with other consultants and members of the wider multi-disciplinary team to support and develop services.

The Diagnostics and Pharmacy Group across the NCA is currently undergoing an exciting transformation into one structure, with a shared governance framework working to reduce variations in clinical practice, accelerate improvements in patient outcomes and improve productivity. This will provide opportunities for collaborative working, to work efficiently, grow our capacity and improve quality.
