Job description

Applications are invited from newly qualified or experienced Radiographers to join our busy, friendly team at Scarborough. Students who have graduated awaiting results/registration are welcome to apply.

A full range of imaging modalities is provided at both York and Scarborough Hospitals including general and trauma radiography, Fluoroscopy, MRI and CT. Interventional vascular radiology is currently only provided at York. A new Emergency department with Imaging facilities recently opened in Scarborough. A CDC development will also come on stream this year. The successful candidate(s) will rotate through both these areas alongside the existing main department.

Initial duties will include plain film, trauma and orthopaedics, fluoroscopy, theatre work and mobiles, with a salary scale dependent on relevant transferrable knowledge and skills. Opportunities will arise for individual development and the opportunity to rotate into specialties.

Recent qualifications obtained by staff include post graduate certificates in MRI, CT, Forensics and Image Reporting, Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Imaging, in Ultrasound and PhD in MRI.

We currently support students in their training from the Universities of Leeds and Hull. Staff are given training and support to become mentors and assessors. Progression from Band 5 to Band 6 can be achieved following a competency based structure. You will be fully supported to develop both your personal skills as well as your professional role.
