This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious Radiographer with proven team leading skills to deepen their CT knowledge, leadership skills and develop their career.

There is a shift system in operation as the scanners operate 12 hours per day. This includes a dedicated Emergency Scanner in the A&E Department at Wexham Park Hospital, operating a 24 hour service, 7 days a week.
Successful candidates will be exposed to a large variety of CT examinations including oncology, cardiac CT, MSK, vascular, intervention, CT Colonography and trauma work on our GE revolutions scanners on our acute Wexham site which also operates a 24/7 CT service. We recently installed a new GE Ascend scanner with effortless workflow packages.
