East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust
Interventional Radiographer Specialist
The closing date is 12 November 2025
We are recruiting for an Interventional Radiographer Specialist who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
As we grow and promote better patient care and experience, we are looking for experienced radiographers who have proven clinical ability in general radiography, and who have the desire to develop their own career and increase their expertise.
You will be expected to be flexible with good communication skills and team working ethic. You must have experience in the NHS and experience in interventional radiography would be an advantage, although we can provide training.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
Main duties of the job
Our diagnostic radiology service is provided by the Lister hospital, the new Queen Elizabeth II hospital and the Hertford County hospital and includes plain film, interventional, fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, NM SPECT, DXA and breast imaging.

Our expanding interventional service includes an interventional room with a GE Innova machine within Radiology and a dedicated recovery area. There is also a further fluoroscopy room.
The Trust is providing a 24/7 vascular hub for the region and a state-of-the-art hybrid theatre with a Philips Azurion 7 C20 with FelxArm system installed Spring 2025
We also use a GE Elite for vascular cases in theatre which include EVARs, angiograms and angioplasties. We perform a wide range of vascular, urology/renal and GI cases.
You will perform a range of diagnostic imaging procedures to agreed professional standards incorporating the College of Radiographers and departmental guidelines within Radiology and in theatre. You will also supervise, assist and train Student Radiographers and Assistant Practitioners.
This is based at the Lister Hospital, Stevenage, but you may be required to travel to our other sites. In addition you will participate in on-call duties to provide emergency vascular imaging to our patients.
