Job summary

We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic Consultant Radiologists to join our friendly team here at Dorset County Hospital. Do you have specialist interest in Paediatric, Breast or Interventional imaging? If so, we are looking for you!

The Radiology Department at Dorset County Hospital is a progressive, patient focused department and is highly regarded by the clinical teams that use our services. The department is a busy district general hospital department providing CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, interventional radiology, symptomatic breast services and plain film and is also a friendly place to work with an excellent working relationship between all staff within the department regardless of position. The post holder will join a cohesive group of 14 substantive consultant radiologists.

If you reside outside of Dorset and join us in this role you will receive a Warm Welcome payment of £5,000 as a thank you for bringing your expertise and knowledge to our Trust in addition to the usual relocation expenses.

If you have been referred to this role by a current DCHFT employee (and you currently reside outside of Dorset) your friend can also receive a referral payment - make sure to include this at the start of your supporting information and include your friend's full name. For more information, please see document attached and please emailmelanie.nutt@dchft.nhs.uk

Main duties of the job

The post holder will contribute to the general workload of the department whilst developing or providing a sub-specialist interest that complements existing expertise within the department such as interventional radiology, paediatrics, breast or sub-specialist cross-sectional imaging. We will also consider purely specialised roles.

Elective reporting is carried out via an allocated worklist with the number and type of studies depending on the length of the reporting session and area of expertise. The ideal candidate will have a broad range of abilities across CT/MRI/ultrasound and the job plan will be varied and will aim to encompass the individual's complete skill set.

MDT involvement will be encouraged according to departmental need and area of interest, and time will be provided for MDT preparation.

We have outsourced all out of hours CT (20:00 - 08:00 weekdays and 17:00-09:00 weekends) to an external reporting company. However, the post holder will be expected to cover non IR emergencies and report elective cross sectional cases until 20:00 weekdays when on-call and between 09:00-17:00 when on-call at the weekend as part of the on-call rota which is currently a 1:9 with internal cover.
