Senior CT & MRI Radiographer

We are seeking an enthusiastic, dynamic and specialist Senior CT & MRI Radiographer (Band 6) to join our friendly and sociable imaging team at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH) in Brighton. This exciting opportunity will be perfect for a suitably qualified radiographer who is committed to providing and maintaining a very high standard of patient care and imaging outcomes.

A brand new, purpose-designed, imaging department opened last year in an expansive redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital site (3Ts Development). This is proving to be a great opportunity for all members of the imaging team who wish to be part of real improvement in patients' experience and imaging outcomes.

The department is supported by a team of Lead Superintendent Radiographers and Superintendent Radiographers, and in return for your commitment to us we will provide ongoing support for your professional development, as well as a friendly, challenging and stimulating work environment.

Applications from Radiographers interested in Flexible arrangements will also be considered., The CT department currently operates 5 scanners - two Canon Aquilion One Prism, one Siemens X.ceed, one Siemens Drive and one Siemens Definition AS. Future expansion of the service into the new Louisa Martindale building and replacement of current scanners will result in additional scanners consisting of one Canon Prime SP and one Siemens X.ceed, culminating in a total of 6 operational CT scanners on this site.

The MRI department currently operates 2 Phillips 1.5 tesla scanners, 1 Phillips 3 tesla scanner and 1 Siemens 1.5 tesla scanner.

As a Senior CT & MRI Radiographer you will rotate through all cross-sectional areas seeing patients from a variety of sources as both Emergencies, Inpatients and Outpatients. This will extend into the use of other systems as new departments open.

The post-holder will participate in the 7-day extended day and out-of-hours (OOH) rotas providing a high standard 24 hour emergency service for the Royal Sussex County Hospital. The post will include an orientation to plain film, theatres, mobiles and RACH to be able to provide these services. This post also has a commitment to some weekend shifts as part of core working hours.
