Radiographer

Role overview

Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust is seeking a keen and committed Radiographer to join the team at St Mary’s Hospital in central London. The post is based in a busy Major Trauma Centre environment and offers the chance to work with a supportive multidisciplinary team.

St Mary’s Hospital is one of London’s four Major Trauma Centres. It includes a dedicated Acute Imaging Centre with a recently modernised CT scanner, along with a separate Paediatric A&E service.

As part of an Academic Health Science Centre, the Trust aims to deliver outstanding patient care through research, education and training. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust brings together five hospitals — Charing Cross, Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea, Hammersmith, St Mary’s and the Western Eye Hospital — and its link with Imperial College London gives access to 50 clinical specialities and one of the largest portfolios in the UK.
