Radiographer

A Radiographer position is being filled in Somerset West. Suitable candidates from across Western Cape are invited to submit their applications for review.

About the Opportunity

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

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the health jobs team in Western Cape make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

The role has been written to be sustainable, not just busy. Strong output is expected, and managers in Somerset West also pay attention to recovery, learning and the kind of breathing room that keeps people doing good work over time.

Meet the Team

Notably, the team you will be working with is fast-paced and energetic. Things move quickly across the Somerset West office, and the people who thrive here are the ones who plan ahead, communicate openly and pick up the slack when Western 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.

Practically speaking, the team structure and working relationships for this role in Somerset West will be explained during the hiring process.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Importantly, the organisation supports a respectful workplace. Applications are welcome from suitably qualified candidates across Western Cape, and recruitment is intended to be fair and transparent.

Inclusive hiring extends through onboarding and into how teams operate every day. Respectful, fair conduct is expected from every team member in Somerset West.

Day in the Life

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.

Beyond that, the Somerset West 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.

Notably, the rhythm rewards people who plan ahead but also pivot quickly when Western Cape operations throw up the unexpected.
