Job description

We are looking for enthusiastic Band 5 or 6 Radiographers to join our existing skilled, friendly radiography team here at Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust providing services across the full week.

You will be based at Broomfield Hospital in the city of Chelmsford, Essex, with occasional work at the satellite sites in Maldon and Braintree. The role requires rotation through different areas of the department including A&E, Theatres, Mobile and General x-ray; opportunities will be available to train and practice in cross-sectional imaging. You will also be required to rotate through our outlying Community Hospitals from time to time. As a dual banded post, candidates will be supported for promotion to Band 6 roles through a well-structured development plan.

Please note that this vacancy may close early due to the number of applicants.

As a Band 5/6 radiographer, you will work independently, as part of a team. In time following the completion of competences and development and consolidation of your training, you will be assessed, enabling progression to a Band 6 role. In this senior role you will also be expected to take a supervisory role leading a small group. Band 6 radiographers act as mentors for this process and are also required to supervise and assess undergraduate students.

We are fully DR compliant including at our community hospital sites, and provide CT, MR, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound and Cardiac Imaging. We have a dedicated Interventional Theatre and newly refurbished fluoroscopy suite.

As a department we support Radiographer Advanced and Extended Scope practice related to service need, including Image Reporting, Radiographer led CT Colonography and upper GI Fluoroscopy. We support the education and development of staff and have a dedicated Education Committee to ensure training is relevant, distributed fairly and supportive of Departmental goals.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.

We aim to make the most of our skills and experiences so we can become the best we can be. As one organisation we will recruit the finest and retain more specialist staff due to more employment opportunities across our Trust
