Clinical Scientist - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (XR07)

The successful candidate will be part of a team of 6 MR clinical scientists delivering a range of scientific services to providers of clinical and research

MRI services within Leeds and surrounding region. The 14 systems supported across Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust and the University of Leeds are a mixtureof 1.5T and 3T including a dedicated radiotherapy MRI planning scanner and anintraoperative system. A further 8 systems are in other Trusts and institutions.

The clinical work of the group is wide ranging and the group also has strong academic links with the University of Leeds providing research support tosystems including musculoskeletal & cardiovascular scanners. There will be opportunities to participate in research.

Theremay be opportunities to participate in the ultrasound physics service for candidates with relevant experience.

Whilst HCPC-registration as a clinical scientist wouldbe seen as highly desirable for this role, applications are also welcomed fromthose soon to complete the NHS Scientist Training Programme or individuals seeking registration via a suitable equivalence route (subject to an appointment on annex 21 of band 7 & reduced salary band whilst the individual works to achieve HCPC registration).
