Exciting Opportunity for a Band 7 Student Sonographer!

Are you an experienced, enthusiastic, and well-motivated individual seeking a new challenge? If so, we are looking for 3 student sonographers to join our busy, friendly team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals and make a real difference in patient care!

At SFH, we are dedicated to creating the best place to work, where staff can reach their full potential in delivering quality, patient-focused care. We promote and enhance inclusion, diversity, and equality, welcoming applications from all areas of the community who meet the criteria for the role.

Team: A supportive team of sonographers covering general medical, obstetrics, and gynaecology ultrasound, including early pregnancy.
Specialist Roles:MSK, Paediatric ultrasound including neonatal hips and heads, and adult head and neck.
Development:We actively encourage and support role development and CPD.

We are opening a new Community Diagnostic Centre at the Mansfield Community Hospital Site, and Ultrasound will be a key part of this development. This is a unique opportunity to be involved in cutting-edge diagnostic services and contribute to the growth and success of our department.

This is a substantive position and includes a study day per week during the academic year.

Full driving license is essential for this post.

The post will be paid Annex 21 during training. The substantive position is subject to successful completion of both the PG Cert and PG Dip.

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
