Consultant in General Radiology

The closing date is 01 March 2026

Applications are invited for a substantive Consultant General Radiologist with a sub-specialty interest to join a friendly, cohesive radiology department in North Devon District Hospital, located in Barnstaple. Candidates with a sub-specialty interest in interventional radiology, paediatrics, breast and chest radiology would be particularly welcome.

For more detail about the main duties of this role, please see the job description section below. As a key member of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, you will be joining an exceptional team working together to help our patients to stay healthy, when they need it most.

Stretching across Northern, Eastern and Mid Devon, we have a workforce of over 15,000 staff, making us the largest employer in Devon. Our core services, which we provide to more than 615,000 people, cover more than 2,000 square miles across Devon, while some of our specialist services cover the whole of the peninsula, extending our reach as far as Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

We deliver a wide range of emergency, specialist and general medical services through North Devon District Hospital and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford).

Alongside our two acute hospitals, we provide integrated health and social care services across a variety of settings, including community inpatient hospitals, outpatient clinics, and within people’s own homes. We also offer primary care services, a range of specialist community services, and Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARC).

Our state‑of‑the‑art equipment, leading technologies and strong links to local universities put us at the forefront of research and innovations, enabling us to provide world‑class care to our local communities.

It has never been a more exciting time to join the Royal Devon, as you’ll help to shape our services as we continue along our integration journey.

ROYAL DEVON UNIVERSITY HEALTHCARE FOUNDATION TRUST

CONSULTANT RADIOLOGIST

Our friendly department includes 8 consultants and we currently work on a 1:8 on call rota. After 5pm, imaging is sent to an outsourcing company and then overnight to the Peninsula Radiology On‑Call, (PROC). This post is offered on a whole‑time basis (10 PA) but suitably qualified applicants who are unable to work full‑time will be considered as would an appointment on an initial fixed‑term contract with a view to a substantive post subsequently.

The department provides high quality general and specialist services with excellent working relationships with the various medical and surgical teams across the hospital and with the GP body in the North Devon community. There are plenty of opportunities for self‑development in areas such as education via our links with the Peninsula Radiology Academy or in more specialist services via our collaborative links with the Eastern Services in Exeter as part of the Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust has an electronic patient record (EPIC), an electronic GP Ordercomms system, a multi‑million‑pound research facility, a significant development budget and big plans for the future.

Work life balance is crucial and you will be joining a department that puts this philosophy front and centre. We are based in Devon in the South West of England; a county renowned for its natural beauty, schools and quality of life. A relocation package is on offer to help get you settled, should you choose to join us.
