Job description
University Hospitals Sussex Trust has opportunities for radiographers to join our hardworking teams based at Worthing & Southlands Hospitals.
We are looking for a highly-motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our diverse radiographer team. You will be able to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team, whose aim is to provide a polite, friendly and patient-focused service to patients attending a busy Radiology Department.
This role is eligible for visa sponsorship under the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) Skilled Worker route however sponsorship can only be provided where applicants meet the specific requirements set by UKVI, including the relevant skill and salary thresholds (£25000), and any role-specific criteria.
You will be mentored through a comprehensive induction programme using DR equipment and taught CT head initially. Induction will include rotation through all areas of the general departments, theatres and fluoroscopy. You will be expected to work cross site between Worthing and Southlands sites and there may be occasion for cross site working to Chichester. Free hospital transport runs between base sites.
Our departments are focused on providing an excellent level of service for our patients and a supportive environment for our staff. We support continual learning and development.
The Trust is committed to staff health & wellbeing offering many activities including access to staff physio and other specific programmes.
We ask that you demonstrate exceptional clinical and professional standards, consistently deliver the highest quality patient-focused care to our patients, and provide evidence of ongoing CPD.
We require all radiographers to have a positive attitude to team working and good organisational and communication skills.
Please note that all qualified applicants must hold, or be due to qualify in 2025, a BSc in Diagnostic Radiography, Diploma of the College of Radiographers or equivalent and HCPC registration.
In common with many imaging departments the demand continues to increase and therefore a commitment to providing seven day services, extended working days, weekends, standby and on call duties are requirements of the successful candidate
At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.
We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We’re here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.
As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.
We look forward to receiving your application and the start of your journey with UHSussex.
