Temporary jobs in United Kingdom

We are looking for a Senior Nuclear Medicine Radiographer/Technologist to join our nuclear medicine team at West Suffolk Hospital. Please note that we will also accept applications from experienced band 6 Radiographers looking for a training opportunity.

PLEASE NOTE: training at Master’s level. The successful candidate will be paid at AfC band 6 throughout the training period (approximately 12 months) and will move up to band 7 upon successful completion of a post-graduate qualification, achievement of required competencies and approval to work independently.

We are a small department but continue to expand the service and examinations we carry out. We are supported by Consultant Radiologists/ARSAC holders both in-house and remotely. However the role will require an element of lone working and higher level decision‑making at times.

The WSFT Radiology department is proud to deliver a high‑quality service which consistently receives excellent patient feedback. Our staff survey feedback shows that the department provides good wellbeing support in an environment which offers good CPD/staff development opportunities.

This is an exciting time to join WSFT while we are planning for the new acute hospital expected to open in 2030.
