Our service delivers both breast screening and symptomatic mammography, utilising state‑of‑the‑art fully digital tomosynthesis equipment across two dedicated mammography rooms, alongside a mobile breast screening unit providing vital screening services within the community. As part of this dedicated team, you will play a key role in delivering a high‑quality, patient‑centred mammography service, supporting women at every stage of their diagnostic journey. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming and supportive department, committed to providing a first‑class service while actively encouraging continuous professional development, role extension, and career progression. This varied role includes working on the mobile breast screening unit, which operates across the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area.

You will work efficiently within service timeframes, maintaining professionalism and compassion at all times. You will review relevant clinical history, explain procedures clearly, obtain informed consent, and provide timely advice, reassurance, and emotional support throughout the patient journey, particularly during assessment and diagnostic clinics where sensitivity is essential. The role includes contributing to the training, supervision, and practical development of student mammographers and other staff as required, supporting learning in line with Trust and professional standards. You will work flexibly to meet service needs, including participation in evening and weekend lists and working across static and mobile screening environments. You will practice in full accordance with NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) guidelines, quality standards, and performance measures, and adhere to national and local policies and protocols. Effective, empathetic communication with patients, colleagues, and the public is central to the role.
