Advance Your Radiography Career at UH Sussex!
We’re offering an outstanding opportunity for a passionate, self-driven Senior CT Radiographer (Band 6) to join our innovative imaging teams at Worthing and Southlands Hospitals—part of the dynamic University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.

You'll work with cutting-edge Canon Aquilion CT scanners, delivering a wide range of services from trauma and stroke to cardiac and interventional imaging. Southlands boasts a state-of-the-art Community Diagnostic Centre, opened last year, enhancing care with a new Canon Aquilion ONE Prism CT for GP and outpatient referrals.

You’ll be joining a friendly, nurturing team committed to professional development. We offer on-the-job training in Cardiac CT, CT Colonography, PGD drug administration, and you’ll play a key role in our Radiographer-led CT Colonography service.
