Rotational Senior Radiographer
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Rotational Senior Radiographer will provide high-quality diagnostic imaging across a range of hospital departments, such as general radiography, CT, MRI, theatre, emergency imaging and mobile services, depending on departmental needs. Applicants should hold an approved degree or equivalent qualification in diagnostic radiography, be registered with the HCPC and have substantial post-registration experience. The role requires strong technical knowledge, patient-care skills, effective communication and the ability to work independently while supporting junior staff and students. Candidates are expected to maintain professional standards, follow radiation-safety and infection-control procedures, participate in service development, and contribute to a flexible rota that may include evenings, weekends and on-call duties.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: NHS nurses, doctors and allied health get a Health and Care Worker visa (about 3 weeks, no health surcharge); care workers lost this route on 22 July 2025.
Before you apply: Nurses, doctors and most allied health staff must be registered or licensed locally before they start: expect checks on your degree and licence, often an English test, and often an exam or an assessment. Ask the employer who handles it and how long it takes. Most pharma and device office jobs do not need it.
Watch for: Pay follows the NHS pay bands and is usually at least GBP 25,000. Nurses and allied health also need UK professional registration; care workers cannot be sponsored from abroad.
