Job overview
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a motivated, skilled and caring professional to join the dedicated paediatric radiology team.
Southampton Children’s Hospital is part of University Hospital Southampton and is a major centre for specialist paediatric services in the South of England. We provide acute specialist care to our local population in Southampton and the wider region, including the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.
We are a major paediatric trauma centre and part of the Oxford and Southampton Children’s Hospital Network (cardiac, critical care, neuroscience, orthopaedics, rehabilitation and transitional care). Supporting the development of medical careers is one of our trust’s key aims, and the hospital is a major teaching centre and is the base for the Wessex Radiology Training Scheme.
Paediatric radiology is an essential component of the Southampton Children’s Hospital, and we have exciting plans to grow the service to continue to provide an excellent tertiary service and advise our local DGHs.
You will have subspecialist training in paediatric radiology and be able to participate fully with the varied work of the department including the dedicated on-call rota.
You will be encouraged to develop a subspecialty interest in collaboration with their colleagues. Paediatric neuroradiology is not essential, but we will endeavour to accommodate a strong interest in this subspecialty.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
