Senior Radiographer - Interventional & Cath - Band 6 Radiology - C9318-24-1363

We are looking for an enthusiastic motivated radiographer to join our interventional team. We are a dynamic expanding department undergoing a complete overhaul. This year we are installing and 3rd new Cardiac Labs, with 3 new IR labs, and a new hybrid Theatre across our 2 sites going live.

The Interventional team is a core part of the trust's fit for the future vision establishing a hub and spoke model with a busy acute site and a vibrant elective site. A novel working environment has been built with a centralised image guided surgery hub accommodating the IR rooms and Cardiac Cath labs alongside a new dedicated day case unit., Applicants must hold BSc in Diagnostic Radiography or equivalent; have HCPC registration and appropriate experience within interventional and cardiac cath labs.

The post-holder will be responsible for delivering highly skilled patient focussed care, acting as an advocate for patient safety and excellent experiences in the trust whilst performing high quality general radiographic examinations and more specialised examinations within interventional and cath labs.

The post holder will be working within and clinically managing a multi-disciplinary team on a daily basis, and acting in a supporting role to the senior management team.

The IR service is rapidly expanding with 3 new consultants appointed and a 24/7 on call for sepsis and major hemorrhage. There is a comprehensive range of endovascular services delivered by the IR and vascular surgical team collaboratively, and in addition, there is a burgeoning interventional oncology service with renal cryoablation and TACE and liver ablations to follow.

There are opportunities to help shape the service going forward using advanced interventional imaging techniques such as cone beam CT and perfusion mapping. In addition, there is the opportunity to develop into advanced practitioner roles being pioneered by one of our senior IR radiographers.

The department has a strong educational ethic with a dedicated practice development radiographer and an industry sponsored educational budget for interventional radiographers and nurses, meaning there is opportunity for growth and development.
