Senior Clinical Scientist

at  Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

We are advertising a Band 8A Senior Clinical Scientist post within our expanding team in the Imaging Physics and Radiation Protection group based within Oxford University NHS Foundation Trust providing services to Oxfordshire. The Group also works in collaboration with Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, with a contract is in place to deliver Diagnostic Medical Physics services across the county of Somerset and to other service users outside Oxfordshire.
This role is a key part to help us to deliver this innovative collaboration.
The job will be based in the South West of England so relocation to Oxford is not a requirement.
The position is permanent and full-time (37.5 hours per week).
The role would suit an accredited Medical Physics Expert in Diagnostic Radiology but we can support applicants close to achieving this status at a lower Band. We would strongly encourage development towards further Qualified Expert certification such as RPA and LPA, as appropriate.
The successful candidate would work alongside a team of Scientists and Technologists to provide comprehensive scientific support in the fields of radiological imaging, supporting the use of artificial optical radiations and radiation protection services to several Trusts that include tertiary centres with large radiology and cardiology departments. The group is heavily involved in supporting academic teaching and professional training programmes and any successful candidate would be involved in this work.
