Job Summary

This Band 6 Paediatric Radiographer role at LTHT Radiology offers an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, highly skilled multidisciplinary team within Leeds Children’s Hospital. Our paediatric radiographers and radiologists are passionate about delivering highquality, patientcentred imaging for some of the region’s most complex and vulnerable children.

Working primarily within paediatric Xray and fluoroscopy, you will contribute to safe, compassionate imaging across emergency, inpatient, outpatient and GP services. Our fluoroscopy service includes both routine diagnostic procedures and specialist interventional lists, providing excellent exposure to advanced paediatric practice.

We are looking for a radiographer who is friendly, motivated, and committed to helping push the service forward. You will bring enthusiasm, compassion, lateral thinking and contribute to progressing the paediatric x-ray service, supporting continuous improvement and ensuring we deliver gold standard care to every child and family who comes through our doors.

While the post has a core paediatric focus, successful applicants will rotate through our adult general Xray departments at LGI. Candidates with tailored paediatric experience will be fully supported, and reasonable adjustments will be made where appropriate.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated radiographer who thrives in a dynamic clinical environment, enjoys collaborative working, and wants to make a meaningful difference within a leading children’s hospital.

Why you should join our Team

Joining our paediatric radiography team at Leeds General Infirmary means becoming part of a friendly, welcoming and diverse group of clinicians who are passionate about delivering exceptional care. We pride ourselves on being supportive, knowledgeable and collaborative. We’re looking for someone who shares our commitment to working together to provide an excellent imaging service for our patients.

As part of Leeds Radiology CSU, working alongside the Leeds Children's hospital, you’ll have the opportunity to work within one of the UK’s leading teaching hospitals, gaining experience across a wide range of specialist areas including trauma and orthopaedics, scoliosis, cardiac, oncology, neurology, neonates and paediatric ICU. You’ll work alongside some of the UK’s leading paediatric clinicians, developing your skills and contributing to highquality imaging for some of the region’s most complex and vulnerable children.

Our team is not only clinically strong, we’re also a welcoming, social and supportive group who value teamwork and shared learning. Alongside your core paediatric role, you’ll have the opportunity to rotate through our adult general Xray services, offering flexibility, variety and the chance to broaden your experience within a large, dynamic radiology department.

If you’re motivated, compassionate and excited about helping to push our service forward, you’ll find a team here that will support you, challenge you and celebrate your growth.

What you will bring to the role

• Paediatric experience
• Experience in working in a fast paced radiology department and MDT working
• Open mind and enthusiasm for quality and service improvement
• Ability to work within a large dynamic team and be able to receive and deliver feedback to improve our practice
• Fresh ideas and insights to further improve our services
• Involvement in audits and CPD opportunities
