You will hold a BSc. in Radiography or equivalent, have current radiographic experience and be registered with the Health Care Professions Council. A full UK driving license and use of a vehicle for work purposes is essential.

Mammography posts have a gendered protected character, due to the nature of the work. This is an occupational requirement, as a result the post is exempt under section 9; part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore only female applicants should apply.

Our breast screening service operates over 2 static and 2 mobile sites. You will rotate to each of these locations whilst supporting and supervising our assistant practitioners.

As a Training Centre we train mammographers as part of the Post Graduate Award in Breast Imaging Practice and provide a variety of study days which our staff have opportunity to attend. We actively encourage and support CPD activities and have won "Best Poster" at the Symposium Mammographicum on multiple occasions.

The Nottingham Breast institute provides outpatient symptomatic services and delivers breast screening to a screening population of over 100,000 women.
