Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The work programme and job plan will be tailored upon appointment, with the flexibility to review and refine annually through job planning discussions. This is a full-time role, with a minimum of 1.5 Supporting Professional Activities (SPA), alongside Direct Clinical Care (DCC) activities. Additional PA (Programmed Activities) may be offered for distinct roles or NHS responsibilities.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the Clinical Business Unit management team across UHN to ensure efficient service delivery, incorporating best practice processes and governance. The job plan will be reviewed regularly, and any adjustments will be made through mutual agreement.

On-call commitment is included in the weekly timetable, with a rota of 1 in 14, which covers one weekday evening shift (5pm-8pm) and split weekends (10am-4pm). Currently, 1 PA is allocated for on-call duties.

Remote working is supported within the Trust and EMRAD consortium, with remote workstations available (subject to availability).

There are also numerous leadership opportunities, including roles as modality leads, specialty leads, audit and clinical governance leads, and teaching/training leads.
