Job description

Job responsibilities

About the role and our team

Join our friendly and supportive team as a Radiographer (Band 5 or Band 6) at Noble’s Hospital on the beautiful Isle of Man!

Within this role, you’ll use your knowledge and skills in general radiography to produce diagnostic images for all referring Departments to aid patient care, such as General Practitioners, Hospital Consultants, Emergency Department Doctors and more.

You’ll evaluate images and make clinical judgments to determine when further images or imaging techniques are required, covering a range of examinations including theatre radiography, dental and mobile imaging and fluoroscopy.

You’ll also participate in our on-call system, performing CT head examinations, using our very attractive on-call system (on-site and from home) that provides competitive remuneration and WTD compliant rest time.

As well as PACS, our Department has two digital general rooms and an overhead tube in the ED trauma room in addition to two multi-slice Spectral CT scanners, two digital mammography units, a digital dental room, four ultrasound units, a newly upgraded DXA scanner and a digital angiography/screening room. We also have a 1.5T and 3T MRI scanner, further supported by three digital mobile units and two image intensifiers for theatre and mobile work.

In addition, there is a satellite unit in the north of the island, where you’ll work single-handedly in a newly refurbished digital room with whole spine/leg length stitching capability with a digital dental unit providing imaging to GP, the Minor Injuries Unit and Outpatient Services. 

You’ll be part of our dedicated team who support one another and are focused on delivering the best care possible to our community.

If this sounds like something you’d love to be part of, then this could be the perfect role for you!

What can this role offer me?

By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS.

We can offer you experience in frontline Radiography across a range of specialties, making this an ideal opportunity to develop your Radiographic skill in a friendly, forward thinking and modern department where there are no shortage of challenges available.

Take advantage of the excellent opportunities we provide for personal and professional development! This includes the use of our Learning, Education and Development Centre and the fantastic range of fully funded courses we support.

Free on-site parking at Noble’s Hospital will also be available to you.
