A rare opportunity has arisen for an experienced Radiographer to lead the MRI department within the Golden Jubilee University National Hospital (GJUNH). Full time hours are preferred but 0.8 WTE would be considered. GJUNH provides essential imaging capacity for patients across Scotland under its remit as the National Waiting Times Centre, alongside specialist imaging services as the West of Scotland Cardiothoracic Centre. The department currently has 4 MRI Scanners, 2 CT scanners, 5 Cardiac Cath Labs, 4 plain film rooms, 1 Dexa Scanner, 1 dual purpose Imaging/Fluoroscopy room, as well as numerous Image Intensifiers and mobile units. There are three Ultrasound rooms and in addition, we also host the National Ultrasound Training Programme within our unit. The MRI Lead Radiographer role is central to delivering our commitment to drive down patient waiting times for Health Boards across Scotland. This role is to manage three Siemens MRI scanners performing a range of MRI imaging (non-Cardiac), staffed with a blend of core and rotational Radiographers. The department operates an extended working day and is open Monday to Friday without on-call and as such, there is an opportunity for a condensed working week. You will work very closely with the Cardiac MRI Lead Radiographer to provide an optimal service to our patients, considerate of staff skill mix and dynamic prioritisation, joining a wider team of skilled and supportive Lead Radiographers.

The department has a structured CPD programme; clinical supervision and VBRP are developing under the Board-approved AHP strategy. Post Graduate learning and conference attendance are supported on a regular basis and the right candidate will have opportunities to grow their knowledge and skills though participation in research, as well as developing their leadership style through coaching, mentoring and formal learning. This role would appeal to those with proven MRI leadership experience, as well as core/clinically excellent rotational MRI Radiographers with a passion to drive improvement.
