Clinical Vascular Scientist​/Advanced Clinical Physiologist

University Hospitals Derby & Burton are looking to recruit two experienced Vascular Scientists or Sonographers to support the renovation of our vascular science service.
We are ambitious to expand services and establish Royal Derby Hospital as a centre for Vascular Science excellence in teaching and research.

Your role would support normal operations alongside developing our research and training capacity.
You would liaise with different services within the team as well as at Trust level to include research and audit.
Our current team consists of a Lead Clinical Vascular Scientist, an experienced Vascular Physiologist, and three experienced locum Clinical Vascular Scientists - housed within the wider and friendly Clinical Measurement team in Royal Derby Hospital.
We have two Philips EPIQ Elite ultrasound machines in dedicated air-conditioned rooms, with a portable Philips Affiniti 70 for attending wards and TIA Clinic.

Having a proven track record, you will be expected to perform a wide range of vascular investigations, including carotid and temporal artery scans, upper and lower limb arterial and venous duplex scans, AAA and graft surveillance scans.
Having the ability to independently report your own scans as well as being able to review and comment on the scans of others is an important part of the role.
Non-imaging tests such as ABPI are also performed.
In addition, you will also be expected to provide teaching, audit and supervisory support.
We actively encourage continuous professional development within the dept.
The vascular ultrasound service is expanding to provide vascular imaging services to other hospitals within the Trust; cross-site working is already in place for many of our other specialties therefore this is also predicted for vascular ultrasound.
This post will also involve some weekend on-call work on a rota basis, providing imaging for the 7 day TIA service.
In addition, you will also be expected to provide teaching, participate in research, audit and supervisory support.
Cross-site working is already in place for many of our other specialties within the department; we have ambitions for the vascular ultrasound service to follow suit at some point.

Closing date of applications: 19 October 2026
