Staff Nurse - Interventional Radiology

The Interventional Radiology department runs a day time service from Monday to Friday with varying shift patterns. With training, the post holder will also be expected to provide cover for our 24 hour on call service, including weekends and bank holidays. With further training the role would lead to involvement in the administration of intravenous conscious sedation, requiring advanced monitoring of patients during procedures.

You would also be involved in the care and management of patients having ultrasound guided procedures, for both inpatient and day cases. In CT, patients have CT guided Microwave Ablation and Nanoknife procedures, which involves working with the anaesthetic team.

The ideal candidate will be expected to demonstrate commitment to their own personal development and show keen interest in the future development of the profession and the imaging services. If you are motivated, enthusiastic to learn new skills, and committed to the delivery of high quality patient care this is an ideal opportunity for you to grow and develop within the radiology setting.

We are seeking applications from dedicated registered nurses with background or interest in radiology to join our motivated, friendly and supportive team. We can offer you the opportunity of working within all different clinical areas in the department, including the general and neuro angio suites, CT scan, Ultrasound and Recovery. Our education team provides structured support to all staff and our development programmes are well established, including courses affiliated to LSBU and KCL. It would be an advantage to have previous radiology, theatre scrub or recovery experience, but is not essential.
