Job description

Overview

A Vacancy at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust. We offer an opportunity for an enthusiastic Radiologist who wishes to develop their career in a friendly, harmonious and supportive environment. This is a substantive full-time appointment to support Imaging services across UHDB. The post is based at UHDB, mainly split between two major sites with acute care facilities (RDH and QHB).

Following expansion of our services associated with our Community Diagnostic Centres, we are looking to appoint Consultant Radiologists across multiple sub-speciality interests, in General Body, Cardiac and Chest Imaging. The appointed candidate will work with a team of established specialist radiologists providing diagnostic imaging expertise in Radiology.

The University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust has 54 Consultant Radiologists (part and full time). In addition, we have 18 Specialty Registrars on rotation from Nottingham and Leicester. The appointed consultant is expected to cover general reporting in addition to their sub-speciality work and participate on the diagnostic on call rota at the Royal Derby Hospital. The on-call work will be supported by a large cross-site team of 12 reporting radiographers reporting plain film and MSK MRI.

The post attracts 10 PAs (8.5 DCC + 1.5 SPA) but we would be happy to consider part time working arrangements. There is opportunity for additional PAs for dedicated medical student funded teaching. New consultants are encouraged to support the Radiology Academy teaching programme utilising a purpose-built Academy.

We are keen to promote flexible working. Most Consultants have a full-time job plan which they work over 4 days. Virtually all of our consultant workforce have home reporting work stations and we can work together to achieve a mutually beneficial job plan which enhances the work life balance of any successful candidate.

We are now a large cross site imaging department offering all imaging modalities. Our equipment portfolio supports modern up to date scanners – 10 MRI and 11 CTs, located in our mains sites and our community diagnostic centres. There are 5 fluoroscopy rooms including 2 dedicated interventional suites and a hybrid theatre.

The Trust Imaging Department also provides imaging services at seven community hospitals throughout Derbyshire and East Staffordshire. Three of these will be designated as Community Diagnostic Centres where comprehensive imaging services will be developed with developments including new CT (routine and Cardiac), MRI, U/S training academy, DeXA and X-Ray.

As a trusted organisation at the heart of our communities, we recognise the important role we can play in supporting the public, patients, our own people and local partners in achieving the best of health for the local population by providing Exceptional Care Together.

Our fundamental Values of Compassion, Openness and Excellence underpin how we intend to work as a Trust and the associated behaviours are embedded in all aspects of how we work.

What we offer

Development opportunities, including both professional and leadership development.
On-going support through every step of the way from recruitment to when you join our team and beyond.
A variety of other staff benefits including employee assistance programme, discounted gym membership, onsite fitness classes, car schemes.
