Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The PET-CT Radiographer/Technologist performs high-quality PET-CT imaging, supports patient preparation and positioning, administers or assists with radioactive tracers in line with local procedures, and maintains strict radiation-safety standards. Applicants are normally expected to hold an approved radiography qualification, be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and have relevant diagnostic imaging experience. PET-CT, nuclear medicine, or oncology experience is desirable, although structured training may be available. The role requires strong communication, compassion, accurate documentation, teamwork, and the ability to work safely and calmly with patients who may be anxious or seriously ill. Flexibility to work across locations, follow governance requirements, and maintain continuing professional development is also expected.
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.
