South West Hospital and Health Service has an exciting opportunity for a Radiographer to complete a Rural Development Pathway with our team in Charleville!

Join us in building better health in the bush!

Job details

Your opportunity

SWHHS Medical Imaging services are based out of the hospitals in Roma, Charleville and St George. The Radiographer works within the Medical Services and Clinical Governance Division in Charleville Hospital. Other hospitals and community clinics are located in small towns within the SWHHS, therefore an Xray Operator service operates in these areas. The Radiographers at Charleville Hospital are responsible for Radiographic Advice to operators in Augathella, Cunnamulla, Quilpie and Thargomindah Multipurpose Health centres.

You will participate in the HP3-HP4 Rural Development Pathway as described at Cunningham Centre I HP3 to HP4 Rural Development Pathway. This involves the development of an Intensive Development Plan and the successful completion of an extensive range of learning activities related to all facets of rural and remote practice. Formal evaluation processes are implemented throughout the pathway to monitor skill and knowledge development.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000 and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Roma's newly built hospital hosts an extensive list of services with state of the art facilities. A great place for families in a region traditionally rich with oil and gas and farming industries, Roma boasts an abundance of sports, recreation and schooling options. With annual events such as Easter in the Country and the Roma Races, Roma is fast becoming renowned for its enthusiasm in bringing world class Festivals and Events to the local area, showcasing their community spirit; the same community feel that makes Roma a career move you will wish you had made earlier.
