Job Summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Imaging Team within the NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at Chapel Allerton Hospital. The NIHR Leeds BRC is helping to improve health and wellbeing by accelerating diagnosis, enabling earlier and more personalised treatment, and, where possible, preventing disease and infection. Through pioneering research across musculoskeletal disease, cardiometabolic disease, surgical technologies, haematology, pathology, and antimicrobial resistance, the BRC is addressing some of the most significant healthcare challenges facing an ageing and increasingly multi-morbid population.
As a Radiographer Assistant, you will support the delivery of MRI and ultrasound research studies within a dedicated state-of-the-art imaging facility, working closely with radiographers, researchers and clinical teams to provide an excellent experience for research participants. We are seeking an enthusiastic, organised and patient-focused individual who enjoys working as part of a multidisciplinary team and is keen to contribute to research that has the potential to improve patient care and outcomes both locally and nationally.
This post is funded until 31 March 2028, with the possibility of extension subject to the availability of future funding.

The NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Imaging Team is a close-knit, supportive and multidisciplinary team within the Research and Innovation Directorate at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. We pride ourselves on maintaining a friendly and inclusive working environment, where collaboration, mutual respect and a shared commitment to high-quality patient care underpin everything we do. Every member of the team plays an important role and is encouraged to contribute, develop and grow within their role.
