Diagnostic Radiographer

Overview

Two enthusiastic, hardworking, motivated, and patient-focused Band 5 Diagnostic Radiographers are sought to join our friendly radiology team. This post would suit a newly-qualified radiographer or a third year student about to qualify.

The Hillingdon Hospital Radiology Department is undergoing a transformation with the procurement of new equipment. We have recently added a new GE EVO CT scanner, a brand new OPG machine with cone beam CT, and two plain film DR rooms. In addition, a state of the art breast imaging unit has been built at Mount Vernon Hospital.

During your first two years with us you will not only consolidate and develop your general radiographic skills but also acquire basic competencies in CT. Opportunities to train in MRI and ultrasound are open to all staff, awarded on merit, not experience. The radiology department is committed to developing their radiographers and we positively encourage and support extended roles and postgraduate training.

Currently we have radiographers undertaking Postgraduate Certificates in ultrasound, a radiographer led HSG and PICC line insertion service, and reporting radiographers providing musculoskeletal reporting. Our services are provided on two sites at the Hillingdon and Mount Vernon Hospitals. An interview date is yet to be confirmed.
