Senior Assistant Practitioner
6 months ago
We are looking for a caring and enthusiastic individual to join our multi-disciplinary breast imaging team at the Nottingham Breast Institute on the level 5 Assistant Practitioner Higher apprenticeship programme.
In this role you will perform a full range of additional specialised imaging techniques, in addition to standard 2-D mammograms, within the screening, screening assessment and symptomatic breast services. You will be supported to expand your current skill-set, deliver clinical excellence, build effective working relationships within a multi-disciplinary team and provide positive patient experiences. This position would be suitable for an assistant practitioner already working within a clinical mammography role.
Mammography posts have a gendered protected character, due to the nature of the work. This is an occupational requirement, as a result the post
is exempt under section 9; part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore only female applicants should apply.
At the Nottingham Breast Institute we provide outpatient services for those requiring diagnosis or treatment in the Nottingham area and we deliver the Nottinghamshire breast screening programme with a screening population of over 100,000 women. Our breast screening service operates over 4 sites: the Nottingham Breast Institute, Ropewalk House and at our 2 mobile units. Whilst completing your apprenticeship training you will work alongside our experienced team of advanced practitioners, radiographers, assistant practitioners and radiographic assistants providing exceptional patient care within both screening and symptomatic mammography clinics whilst learning advanced imaging techniques.
During your apprenticeship, you will receive on-going support from our experienced mammography team and your assigned mentor, and you will receive a salary enabling you to earn as you learn. You will continue learning whilst working within our busy imaging clinics.
Some of the modules included within your apprenticeship could include:
Developing imaging practice
Leadership and learning
Clinical practice
Diagnostics and the patient journey
**To be eligible for the apprenticeship training you will need**:
To hold level 2 English and Maths, or equivalent
Be legally allowed to work in the UK
Have lived in the UK for the last 3 years.
With over 17,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
Come and join our wonderful team at NUH.
