About the role

The Cardiovascular Labs at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh are seeking two dedicated and motivated radiographers to join their team. This is a specialist post covering both Interventional Radiology (IR) and Cardiac Cath Labs.

Responsibilities

• Supporting a broad range of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including coronary artery procedures, electrophysiology, pacemaker and device work, structural heart procedures, peripheral vascular intervention, biliary intervention, dialysis access work, TACE, SIRT, liver tumour ablation, complex aortic endovascular repair, and emergency work such as arterial embolisation and primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
• Working closely with radiologists, cardiologists, nurses, physiologists, anaesthetics, vascular surgery, and the wider multidisciplinary team.
• Providing imaging support across multiple systems including GE Innova, GE Allia, Siemens Artis Zee, Canon Alphenix Sky+, and mobile C-arm equipment.
• Participating in the departmental on-call service once appropriate training and competency have been achieved.
• Developing practical and theoretical knowledge to work confidently within the Cardiovascular Labs.

Requirements

The successful candidates will join a supportive and experienced radiographer team and will be supported to develop the necessary skills and knowledge. Previous experience in IR and Cardiac Cath Labs would be advantageous, but full training and support will be provided.
