We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Specialist Radiographer to join our Imaging team at The Portland Hospital, currently rated "Good" by the CQC.

The Portland Hospital is the UK's leading private hospital dedicated to the care of women, children and young people. Our specialist Imaging Department delivers a comprehensive diagnostic and interventional radiology service using state-of-the-art technology, including Digital Radiography, Fluoroscopy, CT, MRI and a dedicated Hybrid Theatre Lab.

As a Clinical Specialist Radiographer, you will play a key role within our Imaging team, delivering high-quality imaging services with a primary focus on General X-Ray whilst also supporting our CT service. Working with both paediatric and adult patients, you will utilise your technical expertise to produce exceptional diagnostic images and provide a safe, compassionate and patient-centred experience. You will work across a varied caseload, supporting General X-Ray, CT, Fluoroscopy and Theatre Imaging, with opportunities to contribute to Interventional Radiology services where experienced. Working closely with consultants and multidisciplinary teams, you will support complex procedures and help deliver outstanding clinical outcomes for our patients.

This role offers an excellent opportunity to further develop your CT expertise within a specialist environment. Experience with Siemens CT scanners would be advantageous, although training can be provided for the right candidate. With exciting future investment planned, including the introduction of a Siemens Force CT scanner, this is a fantastic opportunity to develop advanced imaging skills within a forward-thinking department.
