The CT department currently operates 5 scanners - two Canon Aquilion One Prism, two Siemens X.ceed, and one Siemens Drive. Future expansion of the service in the new Louisa Martindale building will result in a total of 6 operational CT scanners on this site.
As a Senior CT Radiographer you will rotate through our outpatient, inpatient and emergency departments seeing patients from a variety of sources.
The post-holder will participate in the 7-day extended day and out-of-hours (OOH) rotas providing a high standard 24 hour emergency service for the Royal Sussex County Hospital. The post will include an orientation to plain film, theatres, mobiles and RACH to be able to provide these services.
At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always deliver Excellent Care Everywhere, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed.
