Head of Service - Clinical Scientist

The MR physics service also has strong links with the MR research group at the University of Newcastle, and you will be involved in collaboration with the group to further develop translational research activities, in addition to supporting clinical research within the Trust. The role will involve visits to other NHS trusts around the region so requires a willingness to travel to other sites on a regular basis. This also means that there are opportunities to live not just within Newcastle itself, but anywhere in the wider North-East and North Cumbria region, from coastal Northumberland to the Pennines. Please note that while our goal is to appoint an MR Clinical scientist with extensive experience in MR physics and proven leadership ability at Band 8b, exceptional candidates without the required experience to be appointed at 8b may be appointed at a Band 8a initially. Progression to Band 8b will require completion of competencies within a 1 3 year period. We therefore strongly
