Clinical Photographer (Band 5)
37 hours per week
Salary: £33,247 - £41,424
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Photographer to join our team within the Medical Photography Service at NHS Lothian.
We are committed to providing a comprehensive clinical photography/video and ophthalmic imaging service based over five hospital sites within Edinburgh and Livingston, West Lothian. The post is full-time, 37 hours per week (5 days over 7). The successful candidate will be based at St John’s Hospital in Livingston but will be required to help provide cross-cover support to any NHS Lothian site.
You will have a recognised degree-level clinical photography qualification and be on the national Academy of Healthcare Science (ACHS) register. Applicants should be experienced in digital imaging workflow and familiar with photography image management systems. Experience in ophthalmic imaging is desirable.
Although priority will be given to qualified and experienced clinical photographers, an Annex 21 trainee position may be available for suitable candidates with an appropriate degree in photography. If offered on this basis, the trainee would undertake a one-year, distance learning, Post-Graduate Certificate in Clinical Photography to qualify for the AHCS register. Pay will be based on a Band 5 salary but under Annex 21 conditions until qualification.
A portfolio of recent work is expected to be submitted electronically for candidates without prior clinical photography experience.
