Job Title: Consultant MSK Radiologist
Start Date: ASAP
Contract Type: Permanent
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
We are excited to offer an opportunity for a Consultant Musculoskeletal Radiologist to join our Radiology Care Group at University Hospital Southampton. This is an excellent opportunity for a radiologist with subspecialist training in musculoskeletal imaging to join a team of experienced MSK consultants within one of the UK’s teaching and research hospitals.
The ideal candidate will combine strong diagnostic expertise with a passion for their service and the wider multidisciplinary team, with excellent opportunities to contribute to research and education. In this role, you will play a vital part in delivering safe, high-quality, and patient-centred imaging services, directly supporting clinical decision-making and improving outcomes for a diverse patient population.
Please see the Consultant Brochure which provides further information.
As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.
We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.
Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 20% lower than London and 14 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
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.
You will provide a high-quality musculoskeletal imaging service, including reporting and participation in a shared rota to ensure consistent service delivery. You will contribute to teaching, supervision, research, and clinical governance while supporting the development and enhancement of MSK imaging services. The role also involves working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams and undertaking administrative duties related to patient care.
