Job Summary

An exciting opportunity has become available to join the Breast Imaging Service at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, a dynamic and expanding service delivering both breast screening and symptomatic imaging across the region.

The Leeds Wakefield Breast Screening Service, based at Seacroft Hospital, provides high-quality breast screening for approximately 160,000 women aged 5073 years across Leeds, Wakefield and Pontefract, with activity expected to increase to around 180,000 women as part of ongoing service developments. The screening programme operates across a network of sites, including two mobile mammography units and four static locations:

Seacroft Hospital, Leeds

St James’s University Hospital, Leeds

Trinity Walk, Wakefield

Wharfedale General Hospital, Otley

Retail Park J32, Glasshoughton

Due to the multi-site nature of the service, successful applicants will be expected to travel between locations and therefore should have access to suitable transport.

The Symptomatic Breast Imaging Service is based at St James’s University Hospital, Leeds, where we provide a comprehensive one-stop service for patients referred with breast symptoms. Our busy service includes triple assessment clinics running throughout the week, alongside mammography follow-up for post-surgical and family history patients.

There may also be opportunities for successful candidates to undertake ultrasound training in the future.

Why you should join our Team

Breast imaging is a rewarding and specialist area of radiography, offering excellent opportunities for professional development within a highly skilled multidisciplinary team. We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic and adaptable radiographers who are committed to delivering exceptional patient care and maintaining high imaging standards. Strong communication skills, a patient-centred approach and a commitment to continuous learning are essential.

The service actively supports Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and encourages staff to develop their skills and expertise. While a mammography qualification would be advantageous, it is not essential, as postgraduate training and development opportunities are available for suitable candidates.

If you are passionate about delivering high-quality breast imaging services and would like to be part of a forward-thinking and supportive team, we would welcome your application.

What will you do for our Team

HCPC-registered Radiographer with the ability to work autonomously, managing and prioritising your own workload while delivering safe, high-quality patient care.

Extensive experience performing a wide range of specialised radiographic examinations across diverse clinical settings, including wards, theatres and outpatient departments.

Strong clinical judgement, with the ability to assess, justify, plan, implement and evaluate radiographic procedures appropriate to patient needs.

A patient-centred approach, with excellent communication skills and experience caring for patients with complex physical, emotional or psychological needs.

The ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to high standards of clinical practice and service delivery.

Proven organisational skills, enabling you to coordinate workloads, manage competing priorities and support an efficient and responsive radiology service.

Commitment to education and development, with experience supervising, mentoring and providing clinical training to radiographers, students and support staff.

A proactive approach to service improvement and quality assurance, supporting the ongoing development of radiology services.

Strong technical knowledge and proficiency in radiology systems, policies and procedures, ensuring compliance with professional and departmental standards.

A commitment to Continuous Professional Development (CPD), maintaining and developing specialist clinical knowledge and skills in line with HCPC requirements.
