About this role
The post holder will undertake a broad range of MRI examinations, including complex and specialist studies, ensuring imaging is tailored to clinical indications and patient presentation.

You will support the coordination of clinical workflow, prioritising urgent and inpatient activity where required, and contributing to the effective utilisation of MRI capacity across the department and mobile services. The role includes contributing to staff development through supervision, informal teaching and sharing of best practice, as well as supporting new starters and students in developing confidence within the MRI environment. You will also contribute to audit, service evaluation and implementation of improvements, supporting the ongoing development of the MRI service in line with Trust objectives.
