Job overview

The Interventional Radiology (DSA) Suite is one of the specialist modalities within the wider Radiology Department. The service currently operates Monday to Friday 08.30 to 17.00 plus an emergency out of hours on call service including evenings and weekends.

The nursing team is also responsible for assisting with the care of patients attending other Medical Imaging modalities such as CT, ultrasound and the main x ray department. Finally we also provide the Radiology nurse/radiographer led vascular access service for the Trust.

The Interventional Radiology (DSA) Suite is a very exciting, dynamic and interesting place to work.

On completion of all competencies you will be required to take part in the emergency out of hours on call rota which includes nights, weekends and bank holidays. There may also be the opportunity to work towards a band 6 senior staff nurse position once you are confident to work independently on call and after an agreed period of time.

In addition, the Radiology service is working towards an extended working day/week in line with the NHS Plan, therefore a flexible approach is essential.
