Advanced Sonographer

Overview

We are an NHS community provider of non‑obstetric ultrasound, performing a wide range of ultrasound examinations within GP practices and community hospitals. As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will work alongside clinicians, reporting and guiding their next referrals. We pride ourselves on being an important part of the patient pathway.

Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application and hold current HCPC registration or an equivalent professional registration.

The clinical role requires a competent and experienced sonographer to manage an ultrasound list at sites based around our community hospital in Dorking and GP surgeries in a wide variety of locations. You will carry out detailed ultrasound examinations, record diagnostic images to PACS, interpret and report the findings in a concise, diagnostic format, while maintaining the high‑quality patient care and experience our patients have come to expect.

The sonographers run their lists and timings, integrating themselves with their site teams. We want to make the role interesting and varied. EMIS and Systm One platforms give us access to previous reports, patient history and pathology, enabling a thorough diagnostic report and follow‑up, essential to our continued learning.

You will be registered with a recognised body, ideally an HCPC radiographer with a medical ultrasound qualification and experience of working in the UK. You will be confident in a wide range of ultrasonography competencies and able to work autonomously and carry out independent reporting. We have full‑time and part‑time roles available. This is an exciting time to join, as we have just started our new MSK service with the aim to carry out joint injections in the future.

Experience in this area would be an advantage, but transvaginal ultrasound is a large part of our workload.

We are a proactive team, always looking at ways to improve our service and provide the best possible patient experience. We are also keen to be involved and host ultrasound training events.
