Band 7 - Annex 21

Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.

 

Job overview

We are looking for a professional and experienced Radiographer/Nurse or  healthcare professional with a commitment to excellent patient care and high quality imaging to join our friendly and dynamic Non-Obstetric US team based at Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital.

 Our main facilities are at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital with satellite departments at Andover War Memorial Hospital and Alton Community Hospital. Each Department has designated ultrasounds rooms and you will work with a team of Sonographers and Radiologists.

Working Hours: 37.5 hours a week variable shifts

Main duties of the job

We undertake a variety of examinations for ED, inpatients, outpatients and GP patients including urology, baby hips, MSK, vascular, gynae and soft tissue. We also offer ultrasound access for ambulatory services such as Stroke and Same Day Urgent Care.

The ideal candidate will be able to scan in all areas of Non-Obstetric US after completing their training.

Once qualified you will be expected to participate in student Sonographer training and support the service as it develops.

The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors.
