Job overview
We are seeking a Band 6 (Radiographer or Technologist) for the Nuclear Medicine department at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
At our recently-refurbished department at the Royal Surrey there are three SPECT/CT systems, two of which have diagnostic CT capability and one is a digital CZT system.
Main duties of the job
Our department is based in St Luke’s Cancer Centre, but we deliver a full range of diagnostic nuclear medicine tests to both adult and paediatric patients, as well as providing a comprehensive Molecular Radiotherapy service (including I-131 for benign and malignant thyroid disease, Y-90 SIRT, Lu-177 DOTATATE and Ra-223 Xofigo). We actively support training and development within our team, and have recently established an apprenticeship scheme in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
The department is also active in research, with close links to the University of Surrey and other partners, and an active portfolio of clinical trials of Molecular Radiotherapy.
Working for our organisation
Royal Surrey is a compassionate and collaborative acute and community Trust. Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career. Our diverse and welcoming Royal Surrey family will ensure you that you feel valued from your initial interview through your entire tenure.
We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.
Royal Surrey has a strong reputation and history to build on. We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years. There has never been a better time to join us.
Although it isn't the Trusts normal practice, adverts may close early, so you are encouraged to submit an application as soon as possible.
