With opportunities across Broomfield (Chelmsford), Basildon, and Southend, you can choose a location that suits your lifestyle--whether city, central, or coastal.

  • Engage in Advanced and Extended Scope opportunities where service needs align, such as Image Reporting, CT Colonography and upper GI Fluoroscopy.
  • Participate in ongoing professional development through our structured training programmes, supported by the Education Committee.
  • Contribute to patient-focused initiatives, including involvement in specialist groups such as 'KidRad', aimed at improving pathways for specific patient groups.
