What the job involves

This is a key leadership role supporting the Superintendent Radiographer in the operational management, service development and workforce leadership of a busy and expanding Interventional and Cath Lab Radiology service. The successful candidate will combine clinical expertise with strong leadership and organisational skills to help deliver safe, effective and patient-centred care.

The post covers a diverse range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures across interventional radiology and the cardiac catheter laboratories. That includes supporting complex vascular, oncological and image-guided interventions, as well as cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures delivered within the Cath Lab.

Day-to-day responsibilities include coordinating complex patient pathways across emergency, inpatient and elective services, supporting the management of service capacity and patient flow, and coordinating list activity with radiologists, cardiologists, nursing staff, ward teams and other specialties. The post holder will manage competing demands, prioritise urgent and emergency cases, and support the efficient use of radiology and cardiology resources, staff and equipment.

The role also covers stock control, consumables management and equipment readiness, leading service improvement initiatives, and supporting workforce development, training, competency assessment and staff wellbeing. The post holder will support radiation safety and IR(ME)R compliance in the interventional radiology or cardiology department where they work.

Who can apply

Applicants need significant post-qualification experience in a busy Interventional or Cath Lab department, and must be able to demonstrate experience of management responsibilities such as appraisals, rostering, and disciplinary and capability management. A degree, BSc Hons or equivalent, in Diagnostic Radiography is essential, as is current UK professional registration.

Candidates must also provide evidence of high-level communication with patients, multi-disciplinary teams and senior colleagues, and of managing challenging situations and difficult conversations appropriately. A recognised leadership course is listed as desirable, and applicants are asked to include a personal statement of fewer than 200 words setting out relevant personal and professional experience.

The post is subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service check. Applications from job seekers who require current Skilled Worker sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications.
