Where you will be working:

Inverell Hospital serves a wide and vibrant rural region in northern NSW, delivering vital healthcare services to the local community. Our brand-new imaging department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and supported by a dedicated team of two radiographers and an experienced administration officer.

As part of a seven-day roster, our radiographers enjoy a dynamic and independent work environment, often operating as the sole radiographer—perfect for professionals who value autonomy and clinical variety.

Inverell isn’t just a place to work—it’s a welcoming community. Both the hospital and the town are known for their friendly atmosphere, and building strong relationships with patients and locals is at the heart of what we do.

If you’re looking for a fulfilling role where you can make a genuine impact and be part of a close-knit team, we’d love to hear from you!

About the role:

We’re looking for an experienced radiographer to join our close-knit team at a small rural hospital, where you’ll work alongside one other radiographer—but most shifts will see you working independently. This role offers variety and autonomy, with a case mix that includes a high proportion of outpatients and emergency presentations from the adjacent ED. Approximately 30% of imaging is CT-based, so strong CT skills are essential.

The position includes weekend work (1 in 2) and after-hours on-call duties, supported by a reliable pool of local casual radiographers who also provide leave relief when needed.

To help you settle in, we offer a comprehensive orientation to the department, hospital, and town. You’ll also benefit from ongoing remote education and professional support through our major regional imaging hub in Tamworth.

If you’re a qualified radiographer with solid CT experience and a passion for working independently in a rural health setting, we’d love to hear from you. (Please note: this position is not suitable for new graduates due to the level of on-call responsibility required.)
