Radiology Department Assistant
AfC Band 2
Job overview
Are you a caring, enthusiastic and hard working person looking to make a big impact? We are looking for dedicated and caring Radiology Department assistants to support our Ultrasound department at The Royal Surrey Hospital.
Our Radiology department is made up of 8 X-ray rooms, 5 CT scanners, 3 MRI scanners, 10 Ultrasound machines, an IR suite and 8 theatre machines. As well as 2 mammography machines and two OPG machines, one of which has CBCT capabilities. This year, we are working on our Interventional strategy which will hopefully see us moving from 1 to 3 interventional suites in the next 5-10 years and restructure the whole department to improve the experience and service we can provide to our patients.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.
Main duties of the job
This is a patient focused role. You will assist out-patients during their time in the ultrasound from transferring the patients to and from the departments, greeting them on arrival, assisting with their preparation for the examinations, and helping to provide a pleasant experience.
You will also take on some admin roles which may include, booking patients in for the appointment, stock management and room preparation. Training for all will be provided. You should have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work well within a team.

Recognising that our 5000 colleagues are our greatest strength, we offer a comprehensive health and wellbeing program along with a commitment to developing and advancing your career.

We are clinically led and provide joined up care by bridging the gap between hospital and community services alongside regional specialist cancer care. Our main acute hospital site is in Guildford with community hospital sites at Milford, Haslemere and Cranleigh. We provide adult community health services in homes across Guildford and Waverley.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) have given us an overall rating of Outstanding.

We are proud of our achievements and we are investing in our colleagues through our commitment to supporting professional development as well as investing more than £45 million in our physical environment and new equipment in the next few years.
