Job summary

Do you currently work in MR or wish to train in MR?

We are looking for enthusiastic, patient focused, progressive Radiographers who are good team players and are able to demonstrate excellent interpersonal, and communication skills who wish to work at a centre specialising in trauma, neurosciences and stroke services

Radiology at Salford Royal is entering an exciting time with new multiple scanner installations and expanding services.

We have 5 MR scanners (3T Philips Elition, and three 1.5T Philips Ambition scanners) and a recently upgraded 1.5T GE scanner. The GE has been uplifted to a GE Artist with air coils and accelerator technology.

We have weekend only vacancies, and full time/part time positions working within a shift pattern rotation across 7 days. You should be able to work flexibly to meet the needs of the service and take part in the MR on-call service. There is no on-call commitment for the weekend positions.

Main duties of the job

As part of our team, you will gain vast experience in imaging patients from a variety of specialities including, stroke, major trauma, neurosciences, and general surgery.

MR at Salford, part of the NCA, offers scanning to patients with implants such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, spinal stimulators, and patients who require general anaesthesia for MR. This will require you to have excellent team working skills, as you will be working closely with other departmental teams in delivering this service. You will rotate through all of our scanners, managing a wide array of acute and general examinations.

As an experienced MR radiographer, you will be involved with training of new staff and visiting students. Applicants new to MR will be offered a band 5/6 link grade position which will be converted to a band 6 on completion of training and submission of a progression folder.

You will need to demonstrate that you are an enthusiastic, hardworking, motivated individual, who works well in a team and can work independently.

MR at Salford offers a 24 hour service, 7 days a week. Core hours are 8am-8pm with participation in the overnight on-call service. All staff contribute to weekend working

Part-time weekend roles are also being offered (either 8am-4pm or 8am-8pm)
