The Centre is a specialist imaging unit (MRI, CT, PET/CT) with a large research commitment which requires highly specialised imaging knowledge. We are closely linked with the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre and a large proportion of the workload is oncology related.

This post includes the ability to communicate highly complex information and provide reassurance to patients as well as regular participation in research and clinical trial activities. It requires high levels of flexibility and professional autonomy and includes an adaptable rotation through all three imaging modalities in the Centre.

If selected to interview, you will be asked to prepare a short presentation (10 mins) entitled: Discuss the Advantages of Dual Energy CT.

The heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.

The Specialist CT Radiographer position includes opportunities to learn and refine a range of CT imaging skills and participate in research. Line management opportunities and training will be provided.

Full or part-time applications are welcome.

The Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is a specialist oncology imaging centre made up of 4 scanners: Siemens Force Dual Source Dual Energy CT scanner, 2 x Siemens Sola MRI scanners, Siemens Aera MRI scanner, Siemens Vision PET/CT scanner.

You will be responsible for maintaining high quality and safety standards in CT. The successful candidate will take part in a 7-day working shift pattern and full or part time applications are welcome.
