Job Summary

This is a great opportunity for an enthusiastic Radiographer or other healthcare professional to join our team.

The new NNUH Diagnostic Assessment Centre (DAC) opened in early 2025. To support the additional Sonographers required for this, we need to grow our current Sonographer team by training new Sonographers (a B7 role fully trained). The medical ultrasound qualification is a Postgraduate Diploma and will involve full-time clinical work (paid at B6 from training commencement) alongside online academic learning as part of a two-year course.

The NNUH Ultrasound Department currently consists of five general ultrasound rooms and five obstetric ultrasound rooms, and a Vascular Lab. In addition, we provide a general ultrasound service in Cromer.

The Imaging Department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has recently undergone a significant asset replacement programme, boasting several state-of-the-art new ultrasound machines.

Continuous Professional Development is actively supported through an established appraisal system, in-service training and opportunities for further postgraduate study in line with operational needs and strategic vision.
