Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

This role is suitable for people from a variety of backgrounds who can undertake the mandatory accredited training, supervised scanning, and assessment. 

The role involves travelling across Hampshire & the Isle of Wight to run clinics and deliver AAA screening in the community.
