We are looking to recruit a high quality radiographers who can offer experience in either CT, MRI or both.

Our Trust is based across two large hospitals, the Royal Bournemouth and Poole Hospitals. Across the organisation we have 9 Canon CT scanners, 4 Siemens MRI scanners, 2 Phillips MRI scanners and an Esaote Extremity MRI scanner. This position is primarily based at the Bournemouth site, where a new trauma centre is nearing completion, housing two of the above CT scanners.

For CT, we perform a large number of orthopaedic, neuro and chest/body studies, as well as specialist examinations such as cardiac, angiography, colonography and ablations. In MRI we have the opportunity to perform orthopaedic, spine, angio, liver, cardiac, breast, prostate, head & neck and arthrography. In fact, there is not a great deal of cross sectional examinations that we are not undertaking here.

We are reference sites for Canon, Siemens, Esaote and Ulrich and as such have regular visitors to our department which helps us maintain great relationships with the companies and consequently enjoy superb support.

Main duties of the job

We benefit from a dynamic, advanced thinking team of radiographers and assistants who enjoy good working and social relationships. There is excellent support for CPD, such as IV cannulation training, study days and courses. This is a departments are committed to staying at the forefront of technology as well as all the latest CT & MR scanning techniques.

We offer the possibility to be recruited as a band 5 and receive training, or, if you already have previous experience in CT or MRI, to join us straight as a band 6 radiographer. If however you then require training in the other modality, this is not a problem - we are always keen to develop our team.
