Job overview
We are seeking an enthusiastic, dynamic and specialist Senior CT Radiographer (Band 6) to join our friendly and sociable imaging team at the Royal Sussex County Hospital (RSCH) in Brighton. This exciting opportunity will be perfect for a suitably qualified radiographer who is committed to providing and maintaining a very high standard of patient care and imaging outcomes.
A brand new, purpose-designed, imaging department opened recently in an expansive redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital site (3Ts Development). This is proving to be a great opportunity for all members of the imaging team who wish to be part of real improvement in patients' experience and imaging outcomes.
The department is supported by a team of Lead Superintendent Radiographers and Superintendent Radiographers, and in return for your commitment to us we will provide ongoing support for your professional development, as well as a friendly, challenging and stimulating work environment.
Applications from Radiographers interested in flexible arrangements will also be considered.
Main duties of the job
The CT department currently operates 5 scanners - two Canon Aquilion One Prism, two Siemens X.ceed, and one Siemens Drive. Future expansion of the service in the new Louisa Martindale building will result in a total of 6 operational CT scanners on this site.
As a Senior CT Radiographer you will rotate through our outpatient, inpatient and emergency departments seeing patients from a variety of sources.
The post-holder will participate in the 7-day extended day and out-of-hours (OOH) rotas providing a high standard 24 hour emergency service for the Royal Sussex County Hospital. The post will include an orientation to plain film, theatres, mobiles and RACH to be able to provide these services.

This can be seen in ourWellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it, including where possible, flexible working to support work life balance - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.
