Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated Radiographer with an interest in Interventional Radiology and General Radiology to work within the Radiology Department at Liverpool University Hospital Foundation Trust (Royal Liverpool University Hospital site).
We are a busy department, based across two sites. Aintree University Hospital is the Trauma centre for the region; Royal Liverpool University Hospital is a centre for multiple specialist care pathways.
Our Interventional Radiology Department is large and undertakes specialised procedures, with a team consisting of Radiographers, Nurses, Support staff and Radiologists. We are also part of the Registrar teaching programme.
The Interventional Radiology and General Radiology areas both maintain an out of hours service.
The post is ideal for a suitably experienced professional to extend their skills and experience whilst working in a truly team-based environment. It is essential that you are able to work flexibly according to the needs of the service. The ability to multi-task in often demanding circumstances is a key attribute.

Main duties of the job
The role requires working as part of a multidisciplinary team delivering high quality imaging while ensuring Trust values are adhered to.
All Radiographic staff are responsible for reporting equipment faults and liaising with clinical teams where required. There are various roles shared out within the team including PPE audit, QA, day to day running of the department.
When working in general x-ray, candidates in this role may be required to support of Area Leads and take responsibility for the general department in their absence. They should also assist with & support development of Band 5 Radiographers ensuring compliance with department protocols and procedures.
The Interventional Department has 2 IR suites, 1 Ultrasound/multipurpose room and an Interventional CT scanner.
