Radiographer

The Band 5 Radiographer role will encompass cross site working at all 3 main UHL sites with the opportunity to experience working in the Community sites too. UHL Plain Film Radiographers rotate around all areas and we have an established roster system for nights, weekend and Bank Holiday duties, supporting the delivery of a 24hr service. Rotation within plain film will include training in Theatre, Paediatrics, Max Fax and Mobile Radiography. There is also the opportunity to work alongside the Cross sectional staff in CT and also observe/train in Forensic CT.

We have a very diverse and friendly team of Imaging staff. It is essential that you are a good communicator and a team player, enthusiastic and driven. HCPC registration and NHS experience as a student radiographer are essential. This is primarily a clinical role that will support the progress of a newly registered diagnostic radiographer into a confident, autonomous individual that can develop their knowledge and skills in the Preceptorship period following registration.

UHL is one of the largest Hospital Trusts in the country and treats over a million patients a year. It is based on three main hospital sites and employs around 17000 staff., You will be offered a supportive and comprehensive induction programme tailored to you. UHL is committed to staff development and extended roles and aim to provide Imaging At Its Best., Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030). We have four primary goals:

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities. Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve. About the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust
