Diagnostic Radiographer (Link grade Band 5 to Band 6)

The community departments provides a walk-in plain film X-ray service, supporting a wide range of referrals including GP, outpatient, Minor Injury Units, and inpatient wards, whilst the NOC department provides specialist Orthopaedic imaging and procedures. The service is designed to be accessible and responsive, supporting patient pathways through the provision of high-quality diagnostic imaging within a community setting. As a rotational radiographer within the wider Community Radiology Service, the post holder will be required to work across multiple sites. This offers the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills and experience, while supporting service delivery across the network.

Radiographers will be required to work across all sites, including weekend working and other out of hours commitments, this would be on the base site of the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre (NOC) but would involve movement around the community departments on a rotational basis, there would also be the potential to work on a temporary basis across to other hospitals sites within Oxford.

There are also multiple opportunities to work across all imaging sites within OUH including the any of the Oxford or Banbury based sites in addition to the community Hospital sites
