Job description
Training Programme Director - Radiology ST2
The closing date is 17 August 2026

Job summary
The Training Programme Director in ST2will support the Head of School in the Strategic Development of the School of Radiology.
  • The post holder will lead on the development of the School's Recruitment and Retention Strategy and contribute to supporting the School Operational Programme.
  • The post holder will be a member of the School Board.

Main duties of the job
Training programme directors are key to the running of postgraduate medical and dental training. They are responsible for managing training in a single specialty. They manage the recruitment of trainees by identifying vacancies on the programme, manage assessment processes, organise trainee rotations, develop a network of educational supervisors and support doctors or dentists with individual training needs.

About us
NHS England has a wide range of statutory functions, responsibilities and regulatory powers. These are focused on supporting the wider NHS to deliver high quality care, as well as doing those things that are best done once for the whole NHS.

Our staff bring expertise across clinical, operational, commissioning, technology, data science, cyber security, software engineering, education, and commercial specialisms -- enabling us to design and deliver high-quality NHS services.

In March 2025, the Government announced that NHS England and the Department of Health and Social Care will increasingly merge functions, ultimately leading to NHS England being fully integrated into the department.

If you currently work within the NHS and if successful at interview, we will initiate an Inter Authority Transfer (IAT) via the Electronic Staff Record (ESR). This retrieves key data from your current or previous NHS employer to support onboarding, including competency status, Continuous Service Dates (CSD), and annual leave entitlement. You may opt out at any stage of the process.

Colleagues with a contractual office base are expected to spend, on average, at least 40% of their time working in our offices.

We cannot offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
