We currently have vacancies for full time, part time and bank sonographers to join our highly skilled, supportive and motivated team here at Bradford.
The successful applicants would have the opportunity to develop and advance their practice in our busy, dynamic department where self-development and CPD is paramount.
Summary of Experience/Skills/Qualifications required:
Main duties of the job
The ultrasound department at BTHFT is split across the two main sites of Bradford Royal Infirmary and St Luke's hospital. On the BRI site we have the maternity ultrasound department in the women's health unit, a two room vascular ultrasound department in medical physics and the six room main ultrasound department in radiology, where a range of interventional procedures, both radiologist and sonographer lead, take place.
The two room ultrasound department at St Luke's hospital is mainly an out-patient service.
In addition, we have a brand new two room ultrasound department in the Bradford community diagnostic centre.
As a qualified sonographer you will work in some or all of these departments, depending on your individual skill mix.
As part of the team you will be responsible for managing the daily operation of the area in which you work, using good time management and clinical judgement to prioritise patients and to deal with situations as they arise, in order to deliver an efficient high quality patient service.

As an independent practitioner you will be required to mentor and supervise students, trainees and newly qualified sonographers.
This post is suitable for the newly qualified sonographer who would be supported and mentored by a team of experienced sonographers during a period of preceptorship.
