Radiology Consultant

The Trust is seeking to employ a full or part time Consultant Radiologist. The successful applicant will join an existing team, and will have a wide range of general radiological expertise to meet the service needs of a busy district general hospital.

The post will support the general workload in the department and will include plain film reporting, cross sectional imaging, and ultrasound.

To support this the Consultant Radiologists also provide timetabled sessions on site to deliver imaging for In-patients and Ambulatory Care patients on weekends and bank holidays.

Due to the now large geographical area which the Trust manages, the post holder will be required to work at any of the Trust sites and must be able to respond to on call in line with National Terms and Conditions of Service.
