Audit & Research Radiographer

The radiology research team at The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust are looking to appoint a highly motivated, organised and enthusiastic individual who is keen to develop along the clinical research route. The radiology department currently manages an active research and audit portfolio and continue to expand our research capacity and capability. It is a very exciting time to join the Trust as we have initiated a research collaboration with an industry partner and will commence recruitment to several research projects exploring the role of technologies such as cone-beam CT in streamlining patient care pathways.

The successful candidate will be appointed to band 5 or 6 dependent on previous experience with the agreement that you will be upgraded to band 6 on completion of a set of objectives.

You will be a key part of our small team, contributing to the coordination of research activities and delivering research in terms of participant recruitment, image acquisition, data collection, and stakeholder engagement. Raising the profile of audit and research within the radiology service and wider Trust is also fundamental. Applicants must be innovative and adaptive with good time management skills and the ability to prioritise workload with limited supervision. With training, the role will involve supporting departmental audit and service evaluation, providing advice to colleagues, and the unique opportunity to participate in locally generated research.

We provide care and support to over a million people in Wakefield and Kirklees in their homes, community settings and across our three hospital sites at Pontefract, Dewsbury and Pinderfields (Wakefield).

Always striving for excellence, we are at the forefront of innovation and research, and we invest in teaching and the development of our workforce.

We live by our values of caring, improving, being respectful and maintaining high standards. We listen and learn because we aim to make Mid Yorkshire the best place to work and receive care.

We value diversity and welcome talent and enthusiasm irrespective of age, disability, neurodivergence, sex, gender identity and gender expression, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or other personal circumstances including providing unpaid carers support to someone with a health and care need. As ethnic minority groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people with a disability/neurodivergence are currently under-represented across the organisation, we encourage applications from members of these groups. We have policies and procedures to ensure all applicants are treated fairly and consistently.

We are proud of our staff networks - who offer valuable guidance and feedback from those with lived experience.

We have a clear vision and you could be part of this! If you share our values and you want to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families and carers, we would love to hear from you.
