Are you a Diagnostic Radiography Student, Apprentice Radiographer or a Student graduating in 2026/7, or a Band 5 Radiographer looking for a change?
Come and join our busy and expanding team at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells Hospital NHS Trust. We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly colleagues to join the department who are dedicated to ensuring patients receive the best possible care.
The department is a friendly and supportive environment that provides its staff the opportunity to succeed in their goals; we are committed to supporting CPD and encourage role development. Both departments are busy diagnostic hubs delivering high-quality imaging for an acute Trust.
A post has become available based at Tunbridge Wells. We provide imaging services over seven days across all our hospitals.
We have a comprehensive Induction, Probation and Preceptorship Programme, which is linked to a competency-based structure throughout the departments; this is an ideal supportive environment for new radiographers entering the profession or those wishing to return to the profession. (Before starting as a Radiographer, there is an option for students waiting for their HCPC number to start as an Assistant Practitioner; please ask at the interview.) Once probation has been completed, you will be enrolled on our preceptorship pathway, giving you the skills and experience to become a B6 radiographer.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
All Band 5 Radiographers are supported to rotate through ED, theatre and General X-ray and CT. To facilitate this, you will receive IV cannulation and PGD training.
The Band 5 role requires a commitment to the department's out-of-hours responsibilities; this will include days, nights, and weekend shifts.
