About the role
We are looking for a dynamic and autonomous Radiographer seeking a new challenge as a Sole Chief Radiographer to provide a high level of radiographic (and sonographic if relevant) examinations to patients of Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) from Walgett Health Service, Lightning Ridge Multipurpose Health Service (MPHS) Collarenebri MPHS.
The position is based in Walgett, with regular business-hours travel to Lightning Ridge and Collarenebri. The role also participates in an after-hours on-call service, supported by a remote X-ray operator model to assist with after-hours imaging services at Walgett Health Service.

As the Sole Chief Radiographer across Walgett, Lightning Ridge and Collarenebri, you will provide an essential diagnostic imaging service to local communities while using the full breadth of your clinical, organisational and problem-solving skills.

This role offers the chance to become part of close-knit rural communities where healthcare staff are highly valued and relationships matter while enjoying a more relaxed pace of life away from the pressures of larger centres.
Walgett Health Service is further supported by the visiting WNSWLHD Mobile CT Truck, participation in its operation will be actively encouraged in conjunction with the Mobile Senior CT radiographer.
