Newcastle Hospitals has an outstanding reputation for its Interventional Radiology expertise, providing life-saving diagnostic and therapeutic treatment for patients from all over the North East and North Cumbria. Newcastle’s main hospital sites at the Royal Victoria Infirmary and Freeman Hospital both benefit from pioneering interventional radiology and CT departments so we are seeking enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Radiographers with an interest in Interventional Radiology and CT imaging to work within the Radiology department, Lithotripsy, CT and Interventional suites at Newcastle Upon Tyne NHS Trust.

The posts will be based at the Freeman Hospital but there may be rotation to the Royal Victoria Infirmary Hospital if required. The Trust undertakes a wide range of interventional procedures and within our portfolio of equipment we have several high specification systems across both sites including a Siemens Pheno at the Freeman and a new Artis Q recently installed at the Royal Victoria site.
