Vascular Ultrasound Team Opportunity
The vascular ultrasound team at the Royal Derby Hospital are looking to employ SVT Accredited Clinical Vascular Scientists (AVS). This opportunity is for a Vascular Scientist to join our expanding, friendly, and dynamic vascular ultrasound team.
About the Role
The vascular service supports a range of healthcare professionals across surgery, medicine, and diagnostics. We have 2 purpose-built ultrasound suites and a dedicated scan room in the TIA clinic. All are spacious and feature air conditioning and PACS reporting stations.
Within the Vascular Service, you will work with a number of Vascular Consultant Surgeons and Specialist Vascular Nurses. The Vascular Ultrasound Lab at present sits within a friendly multidisciplinary department which includes Cardiology, Respiratory, Gastric, and Neurophysiology. With up to 90 staff in total, our wider Clinical Measurement Department is a large and sociable place to work. Viewing of the department is welcome and encouraged.
Responsibilities
Having a proven track record, you will be expected to perform a wide range of vascular investigations, including:
- Carotid and temporal artery scans
- Upper and lower limb arterial and venous duplex scans
- AAA and graft surveillance scans
Having the ability to independently report your own scans as well as being able to review and comment on the scans of others is an important part of the role. Non-imaging tests such as ABPI are also performed. In addition, you will also be expected to provide teaching, audit, and supervisory support. We actively encourage continuous professional development within the department.
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.
The vascular ultrasound service is expanding to provide vascular imaging services to other hospitals within the Trust; cross-site working is already in place for many of our other specialties, therefore this is also predicted for vascular ultrasound. This post will also involve some weekend on-call work on a rota basis, providing imaging for the 7-day TIA service.
Requirements
Consideration may be given to applicants who are about to qualify from a specific vascular programme who may require some additional support and competency overview - the post would then be a developmental band 6 to band 7 to ensure appropriate competency has been met.
