The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) are two separate companies operating together to provide service and support for those involved in radiography. Together they comprise the professional body and trade union for those practicing in medical imaging and radiotherapy.
The Society of Radiographers has an exciting opportunity to join our team of National and Regional Officers. We are looking for a positive and knowledgeable leader with the skills, capacity and enthusiasm to influence and lead on all aspects of industrial relations and professional practice across Wales.

They’ll also help co-ordinate and deliver our Representative recruitment, development and training programmes to maximise the effectiveness of local member support and engagement across Wales with opportunities to help shape and develop our UK wide programmes.
