Radiographer

A Radiographer is needed in Douglas. The role focuses on consistent delivery, accurate work and clear communication across the Northern Cape operation.

About the Opportunity

This Radiographer role sits within the health jobs function in Douglas. It offers a defined scope, clear measures of success, and the support of an experienced team across Northern Cape.

The organisation keeps reporting lines clean and expectations realistic. Performance is measured against a small, agreed set of metrics, and there are no surprise yardsticks for the Radiographer taking on this position.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the health jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Douglas much easier.

What Your Day Looks Like

You start your shift with a thorough handover, picking up patient histories, treatment plans and any concerns from the previous team. The morning is paced but purposeful — vital signs, medication rounds, bedside conversations — and you’re constantly switching between clinical tasks and the very human work of reassuring patients and families. Multi-disciplinary rounds give you a chance to advocate for your patients, and by the time you hand over again, you have done meaningful work that makes a real difference to the people in your care.

Crucially, the Douglas office buzzes through peak hours and settles into focused, productive lulls in between, giving you time to plan and reset before the next stretch of work.

No two days look exactly the same — and that variety is part of what keeps the role engaging for the right candidate in Douglas.

About the Team

Equally, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Douglas office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Northern Cape operations get busy.

Line management is hands-on without being heavy. Expect regular one-to-ones, honest feedback and the support needed to do good work consistently.

Crucially, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Douglas will be explained during the hiring process.
