Job description

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King's Lynn are looking for an enthusiastic individual with proven experience, to take on an exciting job opportunity within the Ultrasound team as a Sonographer.

This is an ideal opportunity to consolidate any existing skills, as well as the potential to learn new skills with help and support of trained Sonographers and Radiologists.

Depending on your areas of expertise, you will be responsible for independently undertaking examinations in obstetrics & gynaecology, including transvaginal, general abdominal, vascular, soft tissue, musculo-skeletal, neck and paediatric hips scanning: scope will be within sonographers existing qualifications, however, support would be given to obtain additional qualifications if required for service delivery.

• Previous applicants for this position need not apply***

You will work as an independent practitioner without direct clinician input and will provide written and verbal, clinical/diagnostic reports, including suggestions for further patient management and are, therefore, directly accountable for their actions.

Scanning clinics will be in a variety of venues, including antenatal ultrasound, radiology department, diagnostic assessment centre (CDC), North Cambs Hospital site, wards, operating theatres and other off-site clinics as required.

In addition, you will manage and deliver an effective ultrasound service to ensure a high standard of care for all patients under the post holder's care. Organise an effective and efficient service. This requires knowledge and experience to plan and prioritise patient workload; one's own section workload and training sessions.

There is an expectation to manage a range of patients with differing demands including in-patients, geriatrics and paediatrics.

There's never been a more exciting time to join TeamQEH. We're working on a once in a generation opportunity to build a new state-of-the-art hospital to open (Estimated 2030) and we are also carrying out on one of the biggest pieces of digital transformation work we've ever undertaken.

Our new electronic patient record (EPR) will replace paper-based patient records from 2026 and will lead to better, safer, joined-up care at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and beyond.

At The QEH we provide a comprehensive range of specialist, acute, obstetrics and community-based services to around 331,000 people across west and north Norfolk, North Cambs and South Lincs.

We are an ambitious organisation that upholds our values of kindness, wellness and fairness. We strive for continuous quality improvement, recently demonstrated in our 2024 CQC maternity inspection rating our services as 'Good', and we are proud to be a place to learn and grow through recognised learning and apprenticeships.

We recognise and reward our 4,000 staff and volunteers, priding ourselves on a community atmosphere and positive team spirit. We have approx. 530 beds across 33 wards and have newly built education and training facilities, a range of modern award-winning centres alongside a talented team of people ready to give you a warm welcome.

We love working here and think you will too.
