We are now recruiting for staff to work in our brand-new, purpose-built hospital within the site at Royal Sussex County Hospital! The new 'Louisa Martindale' building provides spacious, well-resourced and modern facilities for patients and staff across 40 wards and departments. The building includes a new 'Welcome space', running the entire length of the building. This provides ample space for everyone and includes a high-quality retail outlet.

As part of this development, we are expanding our Sonography team, recruiting into band 7 Sonographer posts

Spending time in a brand-new Ultrasound department, as well as our existing departments including a newly refurbished ANC in Princess Royal Hospital Haywards Heath, this post is ideal to consolidate existing skills as well as learn new skills with Sonographers given the opportunity to train in MSK and Head and Neck (including biopsy) as well as some Paediatric scanning involving the Screening of new-born hips.

Audit and research will be expected from the offset as well as teaching to both Registrars and Trainee Sonographers
