Job Summary
Band 6 Clinical Nurse Specialist - Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology is seeking enthusiastic and experienced Nurses, preferably but not essential with Interventional Radiology (IR) experience, to join our team as Band 6 Clinical Nurse Specialists. We currently have opportunities within both our Interventional Radiology Theatres service and our Non-Vascular Intervention (NVI) Ultrasound service.
Are you a motivated and compassionate practitioner who can communicate effectively and work collaboratively with wards, community teams, GPs, referrers, healthcare providers, and patients? Are you passionate about ensuring safe, effective patient pathways and delivering outstanding patient-centred care?
These exciting roles offer the opportunity to become a key member of a growing specialist service, supporting patients throughout their Interventional Radiology journey and helping shape innovative pathways of care.
Interventional Radiology Theatres Clinical Nurse Specialist
Based primarily within the Interventional Radiology Theatres at SJUH, you will coordinate care for patients undergoing a wide range of complex image-guided procedures across multiple specialities. Acting as a key point of contact for patients, families, and the multidisciplinary team, you will support patients through their procedural journey, ensuring they are appropriately prepared, informed, and optimised for treatment.
Working closely with Interventional Radiologists, Anaesthetists, Theatre Teams, Ward Staff, and Specialty Services, you will contribute to service development, pathway improvement, and the delivery of safe, high-quality care within a fast-paced and evolving environment.
Non-Vascular Interventional (NVI) Ultrasound Clinical Nurse Specialist
Based primarily at the SJUH site, you will coordinate care for patients undergoing a range of Ultrasound-guided and non-vascular interventional procedures across a diverse caseload, including Hepatology, Renal, Respiratory and other specialist services.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As a key point of contact for patients and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will provide a comprehensive, wrap-around model of care. You will ensure patients are fully informed about their upcoming procedures and actively support their pre-procedure assessment, optimisation, care, and procedural planning.
The Role
Whichever pathway you join, you will work closely with the Interventional Radiology MDT and specialty stakeholders as an autonomous practitioner committed to delivering the highest standards of patient care. We are looking for individuals who demonstrate The Leeds Way values and are passionate about delivering safe, effective treatment pathways alongside an excellent patient experience.
Do you hold a Non-Medical Prescribing qualification? Whilst this would be advantageous, it is not essential, provided you are willing to undertake the Non-Medical Prescribing postgraduate course if not already qualified. This qualification and associated scope of practice will support you in working proactively and autonomously to optimise patient care.
These roles involve managing specialist caseloads within evolving services and would suit motivated individuals who are confident working across complex pathways. The post holders will be required to support pathway development, undertake information gathering and fact-finding, and work collaboratively with stakeholders to develop effective, efficient, and patient-centred services.
We are committed to supporting your development. Appropriate internal or external training will be provided to help you build the specialist knowledge and skills required to succeed within the role and develop your career within Interventional Radiology.
Informal visits are strongly encouraged for applicants interested in either position. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the role, meet the team, and gain an understanding of the Interventional Radiology service and the patient pathways you would help coordinate.
