As a Trainee Clinical Photographer you will provide support to the Department of Clinical Photography & Illustration (DCPI).

Illustration (graphic design) and video have now become a major part of the DCPI’s remit, and the Clinical Photographer will be expected to fully participate in this work using industry standard software e.g. Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.
To support the department in the delivery of a comprehensive and professional Clinical Photography and Illustration service.
Training in-house will be provided in all aspects which the photographer is not fully conversant with.
Responsibilities include participating in the delivery of a comprehensive clinical photography service to all specialties using standard operating procedures, adapted from the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) National Guidelines and ensuring ethical practices are followed.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
