CT (Rotational) Radiographer

The Medical Imaging Department currently has a team of 15 staff, including 10 Radiographers, 3 (4) Sonographers, 1 assistant practitioner and 1 admin assistant.

Our equipment includes two general DR rooms, two DR mobiles, a Fuji Xair Digital system, DR OPT/CEPH unit, a 128 slice GE Revolution Evo CT scanner, a Philips Blueseal 1.5T MRI scanner and two GE ultrasound rooms. We have a local PACS and are fully integrated with the Scottish national PACS.

The Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick is an island general/acute hospital serving Shetland's 22,000 residents plus the offshore oil industry and maritime population. The hospital provides acute/elective general surgical and general medical inpatient and outpatient services in addition to consultant led A&E. More specialist services are provided by visiting consultants and tele-medicine services. There is no resident Radiologist but we have reporting sonographers and reporting radiographers, and work closely with local clinicians providing the usual in/out patient, GP and acute 24-hour service cover with remote Radiologist support.

Do you have experience working at a senior level rotating through CT and general x-ray, including mobiles and theatre, in a UK NHS Hospital? Have you ever wondered what living and working in a small island community would be like but worry about taking the leap, or would just like a change of pace for a while? This fixed term position could be perfect for you. Come and join our small, friendly team of Radiographers and experience what Shetland has to offer.

Candidates must have up-to-date HCPC registration and must be able to demonstrate evidence of working, for a minimum of 1 year, as a CT radiographer in a UK NHS Hospital. Applicants must also demonstrate an understanding of our unique location and the challenges and opportunities this may present.
