About the role:

We’re seeking an experienced radiographer to join our friendly, close-knit team. You’ll primarily work independently, supported by another staff radiographer and a reliable pool of local casuals who assist with on-call duties and leave coverage.

Your day-to-day will involve a mix of outpatient imaging and emergency presentations from the adjoining Emergency Department. Around 30% of the workload is CT-based, so strong CT experience is essential.

Key Features:

• Work independently in a modern, well-equipped rural imaging department

• Approximately 30% CT workload - CT competency is essential

• Weekend and after-hours on-call roster (1 in 2), with local relief support

• Diverse case mix including emergency and outpatient services

• Full orientation to the department, hospital, and town

• Ongoing professional support and remote education via our Tamworth imaging hub

Please note: this position is not suitable for new graduates due to the level of on-call responsibility required.

Where you will be working:

Inverell Hospital is a key healthcare provider for a diverse and vibrant rural region in northern NSW. Our newly built imaging department features state-of-the-art technology and is supported by a small, experienced team including two radiographers and a dedicated administration officer.

Working here means joining a seven-day service roster where radiographers enjoy clinical independence and variety. Many shifts are solo, offering the ideal setting for professionals who thrive in an autonomous environment.

Inverell isn’t just your workplace - it’s your community. Known for its warm and welcoming spirit, both the hospital and the town foster strong relationships with patients and colleagues alike.
