Radiographer
Full-time
As an Army Radiographer, you'll help to keep our soldiers and their families fit and healthy by carrying out scans and x-rays using modern medical equipment. You'll work in a range of environments, from large medical centres on Army bases and in intensive care units or emergency departments to field hospitals on operations abroad. You don't need to have a background in medicine - we'll fund your professional training and teach you everything you need to know about being a radiographer and a soldier.
