Independent Vascular Services Ltd is seeking to recruit qualified or partly-qualified Clinical Vascular Scientists at our Northern sites (Blackpool and Pennine hospitals). We welcome applications from SVT accredited vascular scientists, those working towards accreditation, MSc Medical Imaging graduates and graduates from the Scientist Training Programme. Exceptional candidates with fewer skills and less experience will also be considered.
IVS Ltd is an exciting place to work, with our outstanding clinical teams spread across eight full-time vascular laboratories. The successful candidate would be joining a company of 41 vascular scientists and 3 admin support staff.
We offer a multitude of opportunities for career progression and development, including an extremely active research team focused on securing national and international grant funding for the development of 3D vascular ultrasound. As part of our training team you will have the chance to mentor junior trainees, as well as provide internal and external study days including lectures, for the STP and PTP programmes at neighbouring Universities. Our sister company, My Vein Clinic, offers the opportunity to become a Clinical Vascular Practitioner, performing and assisting in minimally invasive varicose vein procedures.
You will have the opportunity to develop experience in a number of subspecialist vascular scans such as Contrast enhanced ultrasound for assessment of EVAR endoleaks, Giant Cell Arteritis examinations, trans-vaginal ultrasound for assessing pelvic vein insufficiency and innovative 3D scan modalities. We are also developing a remote quality analysis service allowing for image analysis from your home. This would give you the chance to use and develop your vascular ultrasound skills whilst helping to reduce musculo-skeletal risks, therefore lengthening your career.
IVS Ltd was the first service to attain UKAS-accreditation, and we are CQC-registered.
We offer a generous benefits package, including a cash loyalty bonus, shares in the company, conference fees, SVT membership fees, SOR indemnity insurance, parking fees, mileage and expenses, a laptop and mobile phone. We have an open approach to flexible working allowing staff to benefit from a good work/life balance.
Travel is required to provide cross-site support and a full driving license and access to a car is essential. We have a rolling machine upgrade programme, with most sites using Phillips Epiq, Phillips Affiniti or Mindray Resona scanners, with a range of portable scanners for use on wards and at outreach clinics.
We perform the full range of vascular ultrasound assessments at all of our sites, with training available in unfamiliar modalities if required. You will be required to provide weekend cover at four of our sites which is shared between staff.
