Are you passionate about driving excellence in patient-centered imaging? Join us at the Royal College of Radiologists and the College of Radiographers as our Quality Review Partner, where you’ll lead expert teams in assessing radiology services across the UK from independent clinics to major NHS trusts delivering evidence-based evaluations that spark real, lasting improvement.

The Quality Standard for Imaging (QSI) defines what’s needed to deliver safe, effective, and patient-centred imaging services. Jointly developed by the Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) and the College of Radiographers (CoR), the QSI supports imaging providers in embedding a culture of continuous quality improvement and achieving excellence.

As a Quality Review Partner, you’ll play a pivotal role in upholding and advancing these standards. Drawing on your professional expertise, you’ll lead assessments of radiology services across a diverse range of settings — from small independent providers to large, multisite NHS and private organisations. You’ll guide expert review teams in delivering independent, evidence-based evaluations, and produce focused reports and action plans that drive meaningful improvement.

What you’ll do:

• Act as the designated Quality Review Partner for a portfolio of imaging services across the UK.
• Provide expert guidance to QSI leads on both the review process and the standards.
• Manage the full review cycle for services in your portfolio.
• Select and coordinate review team members in collaboration with the Quality Improvement Coordinator.
• Participate in quality assurance and moderation activities to ensure consistency and rigour.

What you’ll bring:

• Demonstrable experience in quality assurance, accreditation, or evaluation assessments, or in healthcare quality management.
• Strong knowledge of quality assurance and assessment approaches.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, tailored to diverse audiences.
• Proven ability to prioritise effectively while remaining adaptable to changing needs.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
• If you’re a confident, high-performing professional with a passion for quality improvement, we’d love to hear from you. Learn more about the role, the RCR, and how to apply in the Quality Review Partner candidate pack.
