The role

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the CUH Nuclear Medicine and PET-CT Department for an enthusiastic and motivated Radiographer or Nuclear Medicine Technologist to join our team in a substantive Band 6 position.

We are looking for individuals with proven experience in the delivery of Nuclear Medicine and/or PET-CT services who are keen to further develop their specialist knowledge and skills. The successful candidate will work as part of our highly skilled multidisciplinary team, contributing to the delivery of a safe, high-quality and patient-focused service. Where required, additional specialist training and competency development will be provided.

Our close links with the University of Cambridge and the wider Cambridge Biomedical Campus provide exceptional opportunities to work with advanced imaging technologies and innovative imaging protocols. You will have the opportunity to contribute to highly specialised clinical imaging and research, including techniques that are undertaken at very few centres nationally and, in some research areas, internationally.

What you'll do

The department currently provides a comprehensive range of Nuclear Medicine and PET-CT services, supported by three gamma cameras, a PET-CT scanner, radiopharmacy facilities and a sample-counting service.

This is a particularly exciting time to join the department. We are currently undertaking a major Nuclear Medicine equipment replacement programme, due for completion in July 2027, which includes the introduction of the StarGuide GX. In PET-CT, working in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, we are also introducing a total-body PET-CT system, with the project expected to be completed in April 2027. The service also benefits from access to a cyclotron within the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, which supports the production of a number of PET radiopharmaceuticals.

Joining our team will give you the opportunity to develop your specialist practice, work with emerging technologies and contribute to the continued development of Nuclear Medicine and PET-CT services, research and innovation at CUH.
