We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
You will be part of a small team of sonographers, who are enthusiastic and committed to providing a high standard of examinations.
You will work closely with and be supported by the onsite Regional Fetal Medicine team who provide care to women and their families undergoing high risk or problematic pregnancies requiring specialist care and expertise. You will also work closely and be supported by our lead Obstetrician and Gynaecologist who have a specialised interest in ultrasound.
We are a forward thinking department made up of a multidisciplinary team and are committed to delivering the best possible care to our patients. We encourage the progression of our staff and expect them to keep up to date with new techniques and promote evidence based practice. There are opportunities in the department to undertake research, audit and sub-specialising in areas of interest.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
We are a specialized unit performing routine and complex obstetric and gynaecological scans to support antenatal and gynaecology outpatients, gynaecology oncology, Post Menopausal Bleeding clinics and the Emergency pregnancy unit. All Sonographers scan and report autonomously and are supported for further development and training.
