Consultant Paediatric Radiologist | University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust

The successful candidates will have subspecialist training in paediatric radiology and be able to participate fully with the varied work of the department including the dedicated on-call rota. This would consist of providing a comprehensive diagnostic paediatric radiology service which includes general plain radiography, CT, ultrasound, and MRI. Experience in leading imaging in multidisciplinary meetings is essential.

A standard full-time Job Plan will contain 10 Programmed Activities, which includes 8 Pas for direct clinical care and 2 supporting PAs. Sessions will be a mix of acute/emergency work and outpatient reporting.

The on call is overseen by a single consultant, supported by a senior registrar. Compensation for on call commitments is provided with a single non-working PA per week (1 PA).

The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop a subspecialty interest in collaboration with their colleagues. Paediatric neuroradiology is not essential, but we will endeavour to accommodate a strong interest in this subspecialty. Similarly, an interest in dedicated paediatric interventional radiology will be supported.

Applicants would be expected to participate in training and quality improvement activity if appointed.

We are looking for a motivated, skilled and caring professional to join a friendly and cohesive team of dedicated paediatric radiologists at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
