Job overview

University Hospitals Sussex Trust has opportunities for radiographers with NHS cardiac experience to join our hardworking Cardiology team based at Worthing Hospital.

We are looking for a highly-motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our diverse radiography team, to work in our Cath Lab Suite using recently upgraded, state of the art Cardiac Imaging equipment. You will be able to work independently within the multidisciplinary team, whose aim is to provide a friendly, professional and patient-focused service to patients attending our busy Cath Lab Department.

Main duties of the job
