About The Role

We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic individual to join our Cardiac MRI team as a Senior Clinical Support Worker (MRI Facilities).  The post aligns with the role defined in the Society of Radiographers (SOR) and NHS England (Health Education) guidance on Developing Career Pathways for diagnostic imaging support worker roles. 

The Senior Clinical Support Worker (MRI Facilities) is responsible for carrying out a range of administrative, clerical, housekeeping and clinical tasks that vary through the day to support the overall imaging services in Cardiovascular MRI.  The post holder will greet patients and perform initial ID checks, register patient attendance on EPIC and CRF Manager ® (our current patient management systems) and prepare them for the MRI examination, as well as providing necessary care and support for patients and research participants during and after examinations.  The tasks may involve undertaking trolley checks and supporting stocking up activities and undertaking IV cannulation and cannula removal for patients in MRI.
