3 year CESR locum post with the plan to assess after 1 year and, if deemed appropriate, renew for a further 2 years.

This is a new post to meet the growing demand in Diagnostic neuroradiology. The appointee will add to a team of 13 full‑time, 1 part‑time and 1 externally contracted neuroradiologist, providing the full spectrum of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology.

Main duties of the job

Study leave and professional leave are taken over and above the SPA allocation. It is anticipated that the successful candidate will take up other teaching/administrative/managerial posts for further SPAs.

In line with the terms and conditions, the final job plan is subject to the agreement of the Trust through the Clinical Leader and the appointee.

The new appointee will be based at Hull Royal Infirmary. Hot‑desking office facilities and secretarial support will be provided. The appointee will work with a very large team of radiologists, radiology trainees, radiographers, nurses and support staff.
