Job description

Job responsibilities

The departments of Radiology at the acute sites operate strategically as one department and there is close collaboration leading to the integration of services. The successful candidate will fully participate with the existing consultants in providing radiology services across Hywel Dda and will be expected to further develop their sub-specialist interest, which would augment and compliment the services currently provided.

The successful candidate will participate in the daytime Duty Radiologist rota covering inpatient scanning which could include cross cover from the base site. A proportion of the out of hours (OOH) on call is currently outsourced and completed remotely by an online Teleradiology provider. However, the directorate is currently subject to transformation bringing a proportion of this service in-house. The successful candidate will participate in the new internal on-call rota. This will include providing and promoting a flexible approach by contributing to this service completing cross-site reporting and emergency cover for our four main hospital sites where necessary on site and remotely from home.

For full details of the role requirements please see attached Job Description and Person Specification for this vacancy.

Discussions around working pattern will take place during initial job planning, where preferences, requirements and options can be discussed and explored in full.

Hywel Dda University Health Board is committed to providing healthcare services that are patient-centric, ensuring that our community receives the best possible care. We value inclusivity and foster a workplace culture that embraces diversity and supports every individuals contribution towards a welcoming healthcare environment.
