Role Overview

As a Band 2 Radiographic Assistant within the Radiology and Imaging Service, you will deliver high-quality, patient-centred care and administrative support under the supervision of Radiologists, Radiographers, and Nurses. Operating across hospital sites (BRI, St Luke's Hospital) and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs), you will assist with direct patient care, hygiene, chaperones, patient transport, equipment decontamination, and departmental stock management. Flexible working--including evenings, weekends, and occasional night shifts--is required.

Key Requirement: Community X-Ray Car Service

In addition to site-based duties, you will be expected to work as part of the Community X-Ray Car Service. In this role, you will support mobile diagnostic imaging delivery directly in community settings, care homes, and patient residences, assisting with equipment setup, patient handling, safety, and operational workflow outside the main hospital environment.

Main duties of the job

• Direct Patient Care: Assist patients with mobility, dressing, personal hygiene, and toilet access; chaperone and support patients during diagnostic examinations while maintaining privacy, dignity, and respect.

• Community X-Ray Car Service: Actively participate in the mobile community service--assisting radiographers with equipment setup, patient handling, safety protocols, and workflow in care homes, community hubs, and domestic settings.

• Clinical & Area Preparation: Prepare rooms, equipment, and sterile/non-sterile consumables for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; clean and decontaminate imaging equipment between patients in line with Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) policies.

• Operational & Stock Management: Monitor, unpack, and replenish clinical stock across work areas; report shortages or discrepancies to senior staff.

• Administrative & IT Support: Register patients, retrieve previous imaging records, input data into the Radiology Information System (RIS), receive phone calls, and handle clinical communications.

• Health, Safety & Radiation Compliance: Adhere strictly to Trust health and safety, COSHH, Data Protection, and Ionising Radiation Regulations (IRR/IR(ME)R); report incidents using the Trust's Risk Incident Reporting System.

• Teamwork & Flexible Working: Work flexibly across BRI, SLH, and CDC sites, including evenings, weekends, and occasional night shifts; participate in clinical audits, quality control, and NVQ development tasks as required.
