About the Role
Are you passionate about CT & dedicated to providing high quality patient care & excellent service? Do you want to gain more CT experience? If so, this is the job for you!
We are seeking an enthusiastic Radiographer to join our friendly team. You will be required to work at Preston Hospital & at the Community Diagnostic Centre and may occasionally be required to work at Chorley Hospital.
Ideally, you will have prior CT experience, but training will be provided to suitable & motivated candidates.
This position may be offered as a link grade and as such would be appointed as a band 5 (dependent on experience). You would progress to a band 6 on completion of relevant competencies and the CT training programme.
We also welcome applications from newly qualified radiographers who would be required to complete the trust preceptorship scheme in addition to our CT training programme.
Responsibilities
Within the trust we have 4 static scanners and a mobile scanner. We also have a PMCT scanner. If desired, there is the possibility of gaining experience in the PMCT department.
We undertake a variety of scans including major trauma, neurosurgical, oncology, vascular, cardiac and colonography.
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits

You will be responsible for the planning and allocation of work in the specific area of the department assigned, to ensure the timely delivery of an effective service.
You will monitor and maintain standards of professional practice, supervise more junior staff and deploy staff assuring standards are met. As well as providing leadership and direction to the team, acting as a role model and patient advocate.
This role requires you to assess, plan and make informed decisions on the required imaging examinations, providing advice and maintaining associated records. You will also be required to support the aims and vision of the Trust and to take personal responsibility for the quality of the service provided.
