Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone. What is a DBS Check? A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role: Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings. Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police that’s considered relevant to the role. Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the children’s and/or adults’ barred lists. Who Needs a DBS Check Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role. The Costs for a DBS At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment.   If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred. For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december DBS Update Service Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices.  For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service. ## Person Specification ### Audit **Essential** - Evidence of audit participation and service quality improvement projects ### Research **Essential** - Knowledge of research design, protocols and desire to be involved with research projects **Desirable** - Peer review publications ### Experience **Essential** - Evidence of training in core radiology (UK CCT or equivalent) - Evidence of subspecialty training in Paediatric Radiology (12 months at Tertiary centre) **Desirable** - Fellowship in Paediatric Radiology ### Motivation **Essential** - Highly motivated with an appetite to lead and make changes to services ### Personality **Essential** - Ability to work well with a diverse radiology team and within the multidisciplinary team - Self-motivated and good problem-solving abilities ### Qualifications **Essential** - Full GMC registration or eligibility for full registration - Specialist registration for radiology (CESR or CCT) or within 6 months of CCT. - MBChB or equivalent - Fellowship of Royal College of Radiologists or equivalent **Desirable** - Post graduate degree or diploma ### Communication skills **Essential** - Excellent team working skills - Fluent English speaker ### Clinical and technical skills **Essential** - Wide experience of all aspects of Paediatric Radiology **Desirable** - Interventional Radiology ## Documents - [inside mft – your candidate place (pdf, 306.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?edoc=2890) - [consultant paediatric radiologist - job description (pdf, 936.2kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10375867) - [consultant paediatric radiologist person specification (pdf, 344.4kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10375865) - [consultant paediatric radiologist functional sepcification (pdf, 920.2kb)](https://www.healthjobsuk.com/documents?vdoc=10375866) ## Agent Notes - This Markdown page is generated from the same Job Clerk job record as the HTML job detail page. - Use the canonical HTML URL for user-facing references. - Use the application URL when the user wants to apply on the source NHS site.
