Lead Mammographer

at  Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust

Are you looking for an opportunity to lead a team and influence the delivery of breast imaging services? An exciting secondment opportunity to cover maternity leave has arisen for an experienced and driven radiographer looking to develop into a leadership role to join the team at the Nottingham Breast Institute.
The successful candidate will be part of a multi-disciplinary breast team based at the City Hospital Campus of the Nottingham University Hospitals
NHS Trust. You will work in both clinical and admin roles providing operational and strategic leadership for the breast imaging team in the delivery of both the symptomatic and breast screening services, and have the opportunity to advance your leadership skills by leading the daily supervision of the breast imaging mammography team.
You will hold a Masters level mammography qualification (UK recognised) and be HCPC registered.
Mammography posts have a gendered protected character, due to the nature of the work. This is an occupational requirement, as a result the post
is exempt under section 9; part 1 of the Equality Act 2010 and therefore only female applicants should apply.
You will have a sound knowledge of the NHS Breast Screening Service and significant experience of working as a mammographer within the NHS
breast screening and symptomatic services.
You will have excellent communication skills and be able to communicate effectively with patients, their families and health professionals. You will
provide the daily operational leadership for the mammography team so previous experience in a supervisory capacity, from leading a small team
or a project, and a desire to develop your leadership skills further are essential.
You will need to be able to think quickly and strategically to delegate tasks appropriately as you problem solve and advise the team on a range of
equipment and workflow issues to ensure the daily clinics run smoothly and that the team are well informed and supported. You will have
considerable experience of working effectively within a multi-disciplinary team.
As a mammographer you will work clinically within both screening and symptomatic clinics.
With over 19,000 staff, we are one of the biggest employers in the city with a central role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our local population. We play a leading role in research, education and innovation.
