An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Sonographer to join the Ultrasound Service at Milton Keynes University Hospital.

As a qualified Sonographer and registered healthcare professional, you will work as an autonomous practitioner, performing a wide range of ultrasound examinations, producing high-quality diagnostic images, and providing accurate and timely reports. The role involves working across multiple sites, including our two Community Diagnostic Centres, and undertaking a varied caseload across obstetric, gynaecological and general medical ultrasound services.

'We care We communicate We collaborate We contribute'

Interview date: 09 September 2026

The successful candidate will contribute to the continued development of ultrasound services, support service improvement initiatives, and maintain high standards of patient care while working collaboratively with colleagues and the wider multidisciplinary team.

You will hold a UK CASE-accredited postgraduate qualification in Medical Ultrasound and have experience across obstetric, gynaecological and general medical ultrasound. You will have specialist knowledge of a broad range of ultrasound procedures and practices and be confident managing your own workload, reporting examinations independently, and working in line with relevant national imaging standards and best practice guidance.

You will be committed to continuous improvement and demonstrate a strong alignment with the values of Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Two years' recent NHS experience is desirable, alongside a flexible, patient-centred approach to care.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a supportive and forward-thinking imaging team dedicated to delivering outstanding patient care. You will be encouraged to contribute to service development, support the training and development of colleagues and learners, and play an active role in maintaining and enhancing ultrasound practice. We actively encourage and support CPD and are committed to helping our staff develop their skills and expertise.

Milton Keynes University Hospital, in proud partnership with the University of Buckingham, is a University Teaching Hospital committed to advancing patient care through cutting-edge research and education. With a “Good” rating from the CQC and significant investment underway, this is an exciting time to join our team and grow your career.

As a medium sized general hospital, we provide a full range of general medical and surgical services, including a busy Emergency Department, Maternity, and Paediatrics. As the population of our city and surrounding areas continues to grow rapidly, we are expanding and enhancing our facilities to meet rising demand and improve access to care for all our communities.

We are also proud to offer a growing portfolio of specialist services. In January 2025 we opened our state-of-the-art Radiotherapy Centre, bringing advanced cancer treatment closer to home. Our services also include neonatology, specialist surgical care, and a wide range of diagnostics, supported by the new Community Diagnostic Centre at Whitehouse Health Centre. We have just opened the Oak Wards - a new ward block featuring two 24-bed wards.

Further investment is underway, including the recently approved Women and Children’s Centre, set to open by 2030.
