Job overview

We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and passionate radiographers to join our rapidly growing team at the Princess Alexandra NHS Trust. It is an exciting time to join the PAHT imaging department. In January 2026 we will go live with our next phase of our CDC project where we will install 2 brand new CT scanners at our St. Margaret’s site to provide additional capacity to our 3 scanners at our main acute site. As well as this, we have received funding to build a reporting radiographer team which will focus on the image reporting of all x-rays, MRI knees and spines and CT heads.

As part of our ongoing commitment to building an effective, enjoyable, and supportive department we have also created practice educator posts for x-ray, CT, and MRI which will focus on the continued learning and development of all of our radiographers. These are in addition to our student focused practice educators.
