Are you a keen radiographer who wants to maintain a breadth of skills whilst developing specialist knowledge in Neuro imaging to support (tertiary) services on the Brighton site? 

There’s never been a better time to progress within UHSussex. Our Trust is in the final stages of a £420 million redevelopment of the Brighton Campus. This includes a brand new Imaging department including Neuro imaging with 3 Tesla and intra-operative MRI. We are a modern department who strive for quality. We are the regional Trauma and Stroke centre with mechanical thrombectomy and our service reflects the challenges this brings with it.

This position would be ideal for any radiographer who holds a strong interest in neurological imaging and would like to develop a strong role in MRI. It is a 50/50 split between MRI and Neuro rotation spending solid time in each.

Previous experience in MRI and Neuro-angiography would be ideal but is not a necessity as our training programmes are very comprehensive.

You will implement advanced imaging techniques within this niche service, developing interventional angiography skills . This will involve the team participating in advanced interventional treatments such as aneurysm and AVM treatment, and exciting stroke management such as mechanical thrombectomy.

Most importantly we are looking for someone with NHS experience who is eager to join our developing team and someone who is as passionate as we are about the service that we deliver
