Job overview
We are looking for an experienced radiation protection technologist to join our expanding Radiation Protection & Radiology Physics Department within the Medical Physics Service based at Hull University Teaching Hospitals. The successful candidate will have, or be able to obtain within a reasonable time, RCT or AHCS registration as a clinical technologist.
The team currently is comprised of a chief technologist, four band 6 technologists (including this post), ten physicists and three trainees, including a PTP technologist apprentice trainee. We are based at Castle Hill Hospital on the slopes of the Yorkshire Wolds, and provide physics support to the acute Trusts either side of the Humber Estuary, as well as to other trusts and private providers, for a wide range of specialisms including radiology, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. We support a substantial number of private dental clinics and veterinary centres over a large part of England.
Main duties of the job
To help imaging departments to ensure that radiation doses to staff, patients and others are kept as low as reasonably achievable while maintaining good diagnostic image quality. Your role in achieving this will include
- Testing of a wide range of X-ray imaging systems, principally in healthcare settings, but including some veterinary and other systems, and providing reports and recommendations to clients.
- Advising clients on best practice and radiation regulatory requirements. This may involve some delivery of basic training.
- Travel, on average several times a week, sometimes long distance (e.g. Newcastle). The department has access to pool cars, but use of own car may be necessary at times when these are unavailable.
In our team, we believe in utilising the knowledge and skills of clinical technologists to their full extent, to provide the highest quality service to our clients and their patients.
