Radiographer ( Diagnostic)
Band 5
Job overview
Together we deliver compassionate, safe care every day and we are looking for an enthusiastic, well-motivated radiographer to join and be a part of our friendly team.
As a new starter you will be provided with a full induction program and allocated a mentor to aid your transition from being a student to a qualified radiographer. In addition, you will have a named preceptor to support you through the preceptorship program. We also have a Practice Educator to support both our students and radiographers with their training requirements.
Our band 5 training schedule includes all general areas of radiography, digital fluoroscopy and CT. Other training opportunities will be available to you as they arise. Funded opportunities for CPD are well supported by the department and these include the IV Cannulation and Red Dot courses.
Main duties of the job
The department comprises general x-ray, A&E x-ray, MRI, Ultrasound, a fluoroscopy unit, an interventional suite, a maxillo-facial unit, and digital mammography. We have 4 CT scanners: a Siemens Somatom, a GE Revolution, a GE Evo and a GE Frontier. We also have 3 community sites at Haslemere, Milford and Cranleigh Community Hospital.
All radiographers have the opportunity to contribute to the training of our students from St George’s, University of London and Brighton University.
We are a 570 bed modern acute hospital situated in the historical town of Guildford. The Trust provides a comprehensive service, with national referrals to several of its specialities. We form one of the four cancer units which make up the Surrey, West Sussex and Hampshire Cancer Network.
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.
