About the role:

Step into a dynamic position where no two days are the same! You’ll be working across all imaging modalities, with a primary focus on ultrasound, alongside two other experienced sonographers. You’ll also play an important role in mentoring radiography students and junior staff as they grow into their roles.

This role includes shift work, as our department operates from 7:00 AM to midnight, seven days a week, with overnight on-call coverage.

You won’t be alone - support is always close at hand. Alongside two senior sonographers, including the site manager, you’ll receive thorough orientation and ongoing skills development to help you succeed in your role and grow within the department. We actively support on-site and local educational opportunities, and we’re committed to helping you continue your professional development.

Armidale is a picturesque city known for its 19th-century churches and heritage architecture. Surrounded by lush forests, mountain gorges, national parks, and cascading waterfalls - including Wollomombi Falls, one of Australia's tallest waterfalls - Armidale is an idyllic location for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Armidale is easily accessible, being a five-and-a-half-hour drive from Sydney and less than 90 minutes from Tamworth. Daily flights between Sydney and Armidale are also available.
