NHS Western Isles is seeking an experienced and motivated Radiology Manager to lead the delivery and development of Radiology Services across one of Scotland's most unique healthcare settings. This is an exceptional opportunity to influence the future of diagnostic services within a remote and rural health board, providing strategic and operational leadership to a skilled and committed multidisciplinary team.
Working closely with clinicians, senior leaders and regional partners, you will play a key role in ensuring safe, effective and person-centred imaging services for our island communities. We are looking for an individual with strong leadership, service improvement and people management skills who can inspire teams, drive innovation and support the continued development of Radiology Services.

The Western Isles offers a bit of everything, from stunning beaches and outdoor pursuits to vibrant communities, excellent schools and short commuting times, the islands provide an enviable work-life balance.
