The Nuclear Medicine service at MFT operates over three sites providing services for the population of Manchester. Combined, the service covers 7 gamma cameras (5 SPECT-CT), spread over 3 sites, a PET-CT scanner, and provides non-imaging studies and therapeutic radioiodine treatments for benign disease.

This role will consist of a broad range of duties and responsibilities, covering areas including:

• Covering the reception desk during the evening (and from time to time during the day)

The department operates a 12 hour day, Monday to Thursday and the shift pattern requires working in the evenings on these days.
