Are you an enthusiastic, highly motivated, and hard-working Sonographer looking for a new challenge? Do you want to work in a caring and professional environment where patients come first?
Would you like to work in a friendly department in a busy acute trust, working across our UHDB sites:
If so, then please apply to become part of our Multidisciplinary Ultrasound Team within the University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust (UHDB).
Part-time and full-time applications are invited from Sonographers who are caring, enthusiastic, and self-motivated. We would welcome candidates with a wide range of ultrasound competencies; however, we would also consider applications from Sonographers with experience in only one clinical area as well as trainee Sonographers with a pending PG Certificate/Diploma in Medical Ultrasound.
We are looking for Sonographers who would be interested in bringing their ambition, commitment, knowledge, experience, and skills to the Trust.
You must have a CASE accredited PG Certificate/Diploma in Medical Ultrasound or equivalent (DMU).
A current or pending professional registration is essential (e.g., HCPC, NMC, RCT). If your registration is pending at the point of application, then please select "yes" when asked if you hold a registration.
Applicants with a pending CASE accredited PG Cert/Diploma in Medical Ultrasound are also welcome to apply for this post.
You will have evidence of ongoing CPD and learning related to your areas of ultrasound practice.
