Bank Advanced Practitioner Sonographer

Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an ambitious and newly formed NHS Group, NHS Humber Health Partnership. The Group is the 12th largest acute and community provider in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.3 billion. Hull University Teaching Hospitals (HUTH) and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLaG) are united to ensure better care for a population of over 1.5 million people.

We seek to appoint Bank Sonographers to provide patient focused services as part of the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the future of our expanding ultrasound service.

This role is for a qualified reporting Ultrasonographer to join our small, friendly team and participate in all disciplines of ultrasound in purpose-built units with dedicated GE ultrasound machines in the Obstetric Department, the General department and at the Community Diagnostic Centres. We provide scans to obstetrics, abdominal, gynaecology, small parts, musculoskeletal and vascular services across the three hospital sites as well as at community settings in the area.

• Perform ultrasound scanning and reporting across multiple disciplines (abdominal, gynaecology, obstetrics, small parts, musculoskeletal and vascular) as required.
• Scan independently as an Advanced Practitioner Sonographer and report all studies undertaken; seek Radiologist input for more complex cases as needed.
• Operate in purpose-built units with dedicated ultrasound machines and provide patient focused services.
• Collaborate with the Radiology team to ensure high-quality imaging and patient care.

• Ultrasound qualification (Diploma in Medical Ultrasound or Pg Diploma in Medical Ultrasound) with state registration.
• Full UK driving licence.
• At least 1 year of ultrasound practical experience in an established NHS Ultrasound department.
• Ability to scan abdominal, gynaecology, obstetrics, and small parts; experience with DVT scanning.
• Musculoskeletal qualification or additional vascular qualification would be an advantage.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, with a budget of over £1.3 billion and serving well over one million patients each year. It is made up of two Trusts – Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH). Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff across five main hospital sites:
