About the role
Salary: £49387.00 to £56515.00
University Hospitals Derby & Burton are looking to recruit two experienced Vascular Scientists or Sonographers to support the renovation of our vascular science service. We are ambitious to expand services and establish Royal Derby Hospital as a centre for Vascular Science excellence in teaching and research. Your role would support normal operations alongside developing our research and training capacity. You would liaise with different services within the team as well as at Trust level to include research and audit.
Having a proven track record, you will be expected to perform a wide range of vascular investigations, including carotid and temporal artery scans, upper and lower limb arterial and venous duplex scans, AAA and graft surveillance scans. Having the ability to independently report your own scans as well as being able to review and comment on the scans of others is an important part of the role. Non-imaging tests such as ABPI are also performed. In addition, you will also be expected to provide teaching, audit and supervisory support. We actively encourage continuous professional development within the dept.
We support multiple services including vascular surgery, haematology & DVT, rheumatology and stroke. As such, our team performs a wide range of vascular science investigations - including the carotid and temporal arteries, upper and lower limb arterial and venous systems, EVAR, stent, graft, and aneurysm surveillance. Applicants with experience in more specialised vascular science investigations would have a strong advantage.
