Breast Unit Assistant Practitioner in Mammography
Please note: This post will close when sufficient number of applications are received therefore it may close prior to the closing date.
The Breast Unit has a vacancy for an Assistant Practitioner in Mammography to join our team. For candidates who do not currently hold a Mammography qualification, training may be considered. Under these circumstances salary will be paid at a lower rate to reflect the training status and will remain until successful completion of qualification and preceptorship.
This post holder will perform mammography working in both the Symptomatic Breast service and the National Breast Screening Programme. They will be expected to independently travel to and work across all sites, including in the community to deliver the service as required.
Duties are varied and include but are not limited to; deliver a high standard of patient care, deliver high standards of mammography under supervision of a radiographer and participate in self assessment of image quality, work within equipment QA and work on mobiles supporting the Radiographers to ensure a safe working environment for both staff and patients.
At North Tees & Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust our main priority is, and always will be, to provide safe and high quality care to our patients every day; the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones. We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time,
to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.
We recruit for values and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”
The Breast Unit is a busy department working within both the National Breast Screening service and a Symptomatic Breast service. The ability to work both in a team and independently, and to communicate in a wide variety of settings, is essential.
