  • 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.
