Job summary

We are looking for a dynamic and forward-thinking Specialty Doctor - Radiologist to work within the Radiology department at East Cheshire NHS Trust.

We are seeking 1 full time (10 PA's including on call 1:8 rota) candidate to support us in providing General Radiology services.

Main duties of the job

The successful candidate will be required to support the current team in providing an all-round General Radiology service including US, CT, MR and Plain film reporting as well as any chosen subspecialty area of expertise.

As a department we are proud to be pioneers in role extension. We currently have a group of reporting Radiographers that massively support this system. We are keen to develop in other areas, and would encourage anyone who is as keen on developing as we are to apply for this fantastic position.
