Sonographer Vacancy at Denmark Hill
Due to increased demand, there is a vacancy for an enthusiastic and highly motivated sonographer at the Denmark Hill site. If you are dynamic and proactive, you would be ideal to join our friendly team.
Qualifications
You must be either HCPC registered or have a relevant professional qualification with a PGDip/MSc in Medical Ultrasound (or equivalent).
About the Role
We enjoy a close working relationship and are fully supported by our radiology consultant colleagues.
Previously shortlisted candidates need not apply.
Responsibilities
The work at Denmark Hill is complex and varied, serving a diverse local population while also functioning as a tertiary referral centre for a range of medical and surgical specialties. A significant proportion of the workload involves complex liver imaging, for which full training will be provided. Sonographers are expected to perform ultrasound examinations independently across the ultrasound department, inpatient wards and intensive care units, including bedside scanning of critically ill patients.
The department supports several one-stop liver clinics and maintains a flexible approach to accommodating urgent same-day referrals. Sonographers are also involved in Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS), while MSK sonographers have extended their scope of practice to include ultrasound-guided injections.
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.
Requirements
Applicants must have substantial experience in abdominal, gynaecological (transabdominal and transvaginal) and small parts ultrasound. Experience in paediatric ultrasound and/or MSK injections is desirable but not essential. Recent NHS ultrasound experience is required.
The department is committed to education and regularly trains radiology registrars, student sonographers and radiographers. Proven teaching and mentoring experience, excellent communication skills, adaptability and a collaborative approach are essential. The successful candidate will contribute to research, audit, service development and ongoing quality improvement.
