Service Manager – Breast Imaging
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Breast Imaging Service Manager to join our multi-disciplinary team. The successful candidates will need to be dynamic, forward thinking, adaptable to change and support operational and clinical improvements.
This role would be ideal for a driven individual who need a challenge and is looking for operational management experience within an acute service area.
We are a friendly, welcoming multi-disciplinary team committed to providing a first class service to all of our patients. The UHL Breast Care Centre is committed to personal and professional development with everyone supported in CPD and role extension.

The post holder will support the General Manager in the modernization, planning and delivery of both Breast Imaging and Screening.
Working for our organisation
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
- high-quality care for all,
- being a great place to work,
- partnerships for impact, and
- research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
- we are compassionate,
- we are proud,
- we are inclusive, and
- we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
