UK-Med Register: Radiographer

UK-Med NGO; United Kingdom; Remote; GBP 60,000 - 80,000

Job description

Are you a licensed radiographer with experience in humanitarian settings?

Role: Radiographer

Remuneration: GBP £3,400 – GBP £4,000 Gross per month (Dependent on the level of role & the adversity of the context)

Hours: UK-Med Register role, no guarantee of any work, but if deployed work will be full-time.

Duration: Register members who deploy will be offered fixed-term contracts. The duration will depend on the requirements of the response, but most responses are between 4 and 12 weeks.

Location: Internationally and/or to any of the UK-Med responses.

UK-Med is a frontline medical aid charity. Born of the British National Health Service, we’ve been working for over 30 years towards a world where everyone has access to quality healthcare when crises or disasters hit.

We are seeking experienced Radiographers who can be available to travel and work internationally at short notice for a minimum of 4-6 weeks (longer availability is highly desirable) to deploy in emergency responses globally, including current humanitarian crises such as in Gaza.

As a Radiographer on our humanitarian register, you will play a crucial role in diagnosing and supporting treatment planning for patients in crisis settings. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team, operating imaging equipment in low-resource environments while ensuring the highest possible standards of patient care.

Our Ideal Candidate

You are a fully licensed and experienced Radiographer with expertise in conducting X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, and other diagnostic imaging techniques in diverse clinical settings, including conflict-affected and emergency environments. You will have experience adapting imaging procedures to low-resource or humanitarian contexts, balancing the need for high-quality imaging with limited technical support.

You must hold a valid professional registration in radiography and be able to demonstrate unconditional membership of a relevant professional body. Experience working in humanitarian or low-resource settings is highly desirable.

You are determined, adaptable, and collaborative, with strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to delivering high-quality medical imaging services in challenging environments. Additional language skills would be an advantage.

What We Offer

Joining UK-Med’s Humanitarian Register means you will be considered for deployment to international emergency responses based on the needs of each mission. This is not a full-time or permanent role, and deployment is not guaranteed, as it depends on the specific profile needs of each response. However, we offer excellent learning opportunities and the chance to make a real impact in humanitarian healthcare.

If you are ready to apply your expertise in radiography to support emergency medical responses, we would love to hear from you.

To apply, please submit a current CV and a supporting letter (2 pages) below. Your covering letter must include a detailed explanation of your suitability for this post with specific reference to the criteria in the person specification.
