Job Summary
The Imaging Department Support Worker will be a key member of the multidisciplinary team involved in the provision of a patient-centred imaging service.
You will assist the Directorate's radiographic and other qualified staff in maintaining the patient environment to the highest standard and ensuring patient movement to and from the examination rooms is carried out safely, efficiently, and in a dignified manner. Where appropriate, you will assist clinical members of the team during radiological examinations and procedures.
To ensure that the service is maintained to the best possible standard, it may be necessary, from time to time, for you to be moved to alternative duties within your competence.

In line with service needs, you may be required to provide clerical support including reception duties, attending patients on arrival within the department, and telephone enquiries.
The following principles of good practice will be a fundamental requirement in the delivery of high-quality patient care:
- Support individuals' rights and choices
- Support individuals through effective communication
- Maintain confidentiality of information
- Acknowledge individuals' personal beliefs and identity
- Promote anti-discriminatory practice
- Maintain safety and security of individuals
- Work under close supervision within well-established procedures
