Key Responsibilities & Duties
- Perform a wide range of MRI scans (neurological, musculoskeletal, abdominal, cardiac) on patients following precise clinical protocols and safety guidelines.
- Prepare patients for procedures, explaining the process, screening for contraindications (e.g., metallic implants, pregnancy), and ensuring informed consent.
- Operate, calibrate, and perform basic troubleshooting on high-field MRI systems, maintaining detailed patient and equipment records.
- Administer contrast media intravenously as prescribed, monitoring patients for any adverse reactions.
- Work collaboratively within a multi-disciplinary team, including Radiologists, Radiographers, and Healthcare Assistants, to prioritise workload and ensure efficient patient flow.
- Uphold strict infection control and radiation safety standards (though MRI uses non-ionising radiation, safety protocols for magnetic fields are paramount).
- Participate in clinical audits and contribute to service development initiatives to enhance imaging quality.
Essential Requirements & Qualifications
- A recognised qualification in Diagnostic Radiography (BSc or equivalent) and current HCPC registration as a Radiographer.
- Substantial post-qualification experience operating MRI scanners within a clinical setting. Candidates with specific training but less experience may be considered for support roles.

- Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to reassure anxious patients and work under pressure.
- A proactive, patient-centred approach and a strong commitment to continuous professional development (CPD).
- Eligibility to work in the UK without restriction.

Frequently Asked Questions: MRI Jobs in LE2
We are looking for HCPC-registered Radiographers with substantive post-qualification experience operating MRI scanners in a clinical NHS or private setting. Proficiency in a range of examinations (neuro, MSK, body) is essential. For candidates with strong general radiography experience and a keen interest in MRI, we may have opportunities for supervised development. The key is a solid foundation in patient care and imaging principles.
For candidates with all compliance documents readily available (HCPC, ID, right to work, references), the process can be remarkably fast. We aim for a 48-hour turnaround from initial application to submission for client interview. An immediate start is often possible within 1-2 weeks, depending on the client's onboarding schedule. Our guide on Temporary Staffing Solutions explains this efficient model from an employer's perspective.
Absolutely. Many of our temporary placements, especially in high-demand specialisms like MRI, are used by clients as a 'try before you buy' period. Performing well in a temp role is often the most effective pathway to a permanent offer. We actively facilitate these conversions and are transparent about the potential from the outset.
Shifts vary by client. You could be placed in a standard Monday-Friday day service (e.g., 8 am - 4 pm, 9 am - 5 pm), or in departments offering extended hours, weekends, and on-call rotas to support urgent and elective care. We discuss your availability and preferences in detail during registration to match you with suitable assignments. Flexibility often leads to higher earning potential due to unsocial hours enhancements.
Yes, we do. While this specific advert targets experienced MRI Technologists, we frequently recruit for general radiography positions, rotational roles, and support positions that are ideal for newly qualified professionals looking to gain broad experience. We encourage newly qualified Radiographers to register with us so we can alert you to suitable opportunities as they arise. Building a strong team with potential is a principle we explore in our guide to building winning teams.
