Job Purpose

As Research PET CT Technologist you'll be responsible for routine PET scanning within our state-of-the-art clinical trial imaging clinic in West London.

Working within a small, supportive team forming part of our Clinical Operations group, your brief will be comprehensive, supporting the range of activities necessary to deliver effective Imaging/Experimental Medicine studies.

The research context means that you'll typically be performing a lower volume of longer, more complex scans than is normally associated with healthcare diagnostics/therapeutics. Strongly self-motivated and comfortable working flexibly across a Monday-Friday scanning schedule, you'll be supported in taking advantage of the significant professional development opportunities this provides, including cross-training on relevant equipment as required.

Key Responsibilities:

To safely and efficiently perform high quality PET scans.
  • Perform the day-to-day scanning of PET patients with no supervision if required and ensure that high quality data is produced in a timely and cost-effective manner. Ensure high standards of ICH/GCP compliance and patient care are maintained.
Safe collection and handling of human biological samples
  • Carry out arterial and venous blood sampling, identifying issues and troubleshooting as needed.
Safe handling of radioactivity and working safely around radioactive subjects
  • Participate in and oversee the safe handling of radioactive sources in the PET area including the dispensing of and, where required, the administration of radiopharmaceuticals to subjects.
Safe operation of scanning and ancillary equipment
  • Carry out QC on all PET equipment according to the relevant SOPs, notifying Senior/Lead PET Technologist/Physics of equipment problems.
Working in an MR Environment
  • Ability to work in all modalities (PET/CT, PET/MR and MRI) required, training provided where needed.
Flexible working pattern to cover scheduled scans and scan schedule adjustments
  • Late scanning may occur due to radiotracer delays, willingness to adapt to scheduling needs required.
Functional Competencies (Technical knowledge/Skills)
  • Complete PET Competency Assessments, which include practical assessments to ensure competency in PET-related duties.
  • Work with Senior/Lead PET Technologists to ensure that scan-critical stock levels are adequately maintained and escalate any issues to Senior/Lead PET Technologists.
  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in the PET area.
  • Read and understand relevant SOPs.
  • Perform internal audits where assigned and assist in preparing for external audits.
  • Perform PET quality related actions, including deviations and self-audit, in a timely manner, in order to comply with company policies and regulatory requirements
  • Ensure new study protocols are reviewed and PET related documents are prepared in a timely manner
  • Participate in PET team meetings and ensure effective communication with the rest of the PET team.
  • Accurately carry out tasks on the RIS and VNA systems necessary to complete PET exams.
  • Stay current and maintain mandatory continuous professional development and accreditation as a professional.
  • Have an understanding of the company business strategy.
  • Identify, mitigate and escalate risks and issues to Lead PET Technologist. Raise deviations when needed and assist the Lead Research PET Technologist in carrying out investigations relating to deviations where necessary
Experience, Education and Certifications
  • BSc Radiography or relevant qualification(s) in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
  • Demonstrable "hands on" experience in PET or Nuclear Medicine scanning. Previous experience in a research environment is desirable.
  • HCPC or RCT registered/eligible to register
  • Experience using Siemens PET CT scanners and GE PET or MR scanners is desirable.
  • Good understanding of - and up to date training in - current ICH-GCP guidelines
  • Intermediate Life Support (ILS) trained
  • English: Fluent
