The Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

Many of our recruitment programmes use values-based interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significance difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

The post holder’s duties will be primarily at the West Wing and John Radcliffe Hospital but it is a condition of the appointment that the post holder will be willing to work in any of the Trust’s locations. This post will cover a range of subspecialities in diagnostic neuroradiology and it is anticipated that some direct clinical care sessions will take place at the Churchill Hospital.

Main duties of the job

This post is partially required to meet ever increasing demand for diagnostic neuroradiology services, but also to further the unique strength in subspecialisation within the consultant team as regards head and neck/ENT imaging. The Neuroradiology Department in Oxford is one of few where head and neck imaging has historically been a component of neuroradiology workload, and this remains the current position

COVID-19: The COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course our patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings. Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not a condition of employment at this time, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated. We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination. If you are unvaccinated there is helpful advice and information at Oxfordshire County Council Website where you can also find out more about how to access vaccination. There is a current Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new starters may need to be vaccinated.
