The appointee will be responsible for managing and leading the Cardiac CT service, which includes organizing the workload and staffing, with a focus on establishing and implementing a radiographer-led service in both areas.

The appointee will ensure that operational standards are met to deliver an effective and progressive service. Effective communication with modality superintendents is crucial to manage staffing levels appropriately, ensuring a safe, efficient, and responsive service.

The appointee will also be actively involved in the department's governance, with particular responsibility for CT in areas such as image quality, legislation related to the use of Ionising Radiation, risk management, Health & Safety, and audit activities within the cardiac service scope.
