Clinical Specialist Sonographer | Clonsilla | FTC

Job role:

Medica Group is the market leader in the provision of teleradiology and managed radiology services to the UK and Ireland. We are now recruiting for a new colleague to join our growing Ultrasound team in our newly opened clinic in Clonsilla due to a maternity leave cover.

As we are constantly expanding our business, at this moment, we require specialisations in MSK, DDH or paediatrics. However, if you do not possess any of them but have extensive hands-on experience in general ultrasound, please get in touch!

As the service expands, we recently moved to a new clinic in Clonsilla, and we are looking for a new colleague to join our amazing team in North Dublin, ideally full-time. However, we are open to discussing working hours with the successful candidate to enable a good work/life balance, including part-time hours.

This is a great opportunity for a Clinical Specialist Sonographer or for an experienced Senior Sonographer ready for a new challenge with Medica Ireland.

Who we are:

Medica Ireland is a radiology services provider in Ireland employing over 180 staff members. We deliver managed service solutions to public and private hospitals and have patient services in MRI, Ultrasound, CT, DXA, Obstetrics and X-Ray.

We are a clinically led, patient-focused organisation with industry experts including Radiologists, Radiographers, Sonographers and Midwife Sonographers. Our proven track record shows improvement in access for patients through the resolution of traditional radiology bottlenecks and workflow inefficiencies, while simultaneously reducing costs for the hospital.

Medica Group still focusing on growing, and the Irish business is doing it constantly. There has never been a better time to get involved in this amazing project!
