Job responsibilities

We are a challenging and fast-paced service and require someone who can step into this role with confidence, professionalism and the ability to motivate themselves and others. We are a forward-thinking Teaching Trust that strives to develop staff to deliver high clinical care and have been a key player in the development and implementation of the 4 tier structure. The Ultrasound service has received BMUS accreditation for its Sonographer Preceptorship. We are looking for someone who can uphold our trust values & behaviours and play a crucial role in delivering excellent care. Are you caring, ensuring this is in the heart of all you do? Are you willing to contribute to help improve aspects of the care being delivered and to improve yourself? Are you respectful of others and treat people the way they would expect to be treated? Are you able to provide a high standard of work, for both patients and the services we provide? Then you just might be the candidate we are looking for.

We are a 3 site trust providing a 7 day service and as part of your role you may be required to work across all 3 sites (Wakefield, Pontefract and Dewsbury) covering Days, Evenings, Bank holidays and Weekends. We offer a regular staff shuttle service between all 3 sites for staff convenience and ease.

We provide Ultrasound service from GP facilities in the Wakefield area.

In April 24 we opened a Community Diagnostic Centre in Wakefield

Full time and part time applications welcomed.

Our staff networks offer safe spaces to share ideas and concerns so we can increase awareness and appreciation of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Application guidance: We understand that more applicants are using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help with their applications. While these tools can be useful, they cannot fully capture your skills, knowledge, and experience. It’s important that you personalise your application. Relying solely on AI is not recommended, as it may reduce your chances of success. Our screening process is thorough, so if you have used AI, please make sure to disclose this on your application form.
