The Nightingale Centre has vacancies for full/part-time Mammographers to join their friendly and busy breast radiology multi-professional team. We offer a modern diagnostic and treatment service across both the Nightingale Centre and NMGH. MFT also coordinates the NHS breast screening program (NHSBSP) for the Manchester area. The Nightingale Centre is an NHSBSP National Training Centre and is home to the National Breast Imaging Academy (NBIA).
Our department is committed to radiographer role extension and CPD. We have advanced practitioners undertaking stereo-interventional procedures and film-reading, mammography associates performing screening and symptomatic mammography, plus clinical expert radiographers specializing in advanced breast imaging.
The Manchester BSP covers a wide geographical area, so willingness to travel to all screening sites is essential. A flexible approach to work is required as weekend and evening sessions are often scheduled to meet the demands of the expanding screening population and symptomatic workload.
You must have HCPC registration as a Radiographer and be a UK resident. A Postgraduate Award in Mammography is preferable, although training will be considered for the right applicant (Band 5 whilst in training).
We encourage you to discuss the post in more detail and invite you to make an informal visit to a mobile screening unit and/or the department.
The post involves assisting in the provision and delivery of the NHS BSP, including well woman screening mammography on the target population to national standards, on both mobile and static units in the community. You will also be involved with family history screening, assessment, follow-up, and symptomatic mammography within the Nightingale Centre. Additional responsibilities include assisting in stereo-tactic interventional and MRI biopsy procedures.
As a qualified mammographer, supervision and training of students, trainee mammographers, and assistant practitioners are required. A mammographer is expected to produce high-quality images in a safe and caring manner, working within a multidisciplinary team to provide the highest standards of patient care.
