You'll be working in our highly regarded AI-based Teledermatology service, making sure patients with suspected skin cancer get the right treatment at the right time, taking high quality photographs and dermoscopy.

When requested you will also work closely with the Communications Team to take public relations photography which will be used across the Trust and externally to show the best of what we do.

You'll follow local policies and procedures to process and upload images to our secure image database and will be expected to use both everyday IT packages and specialist software to complete tasks.

You'll contribute to the day to day running of the department and make sure that all of our camera equipment is well maintained and consumables are recorded and ordered as necessary.
