Army - Reserve Radiographer

Responsibilities As a Radiographer in the New Zealand Army you will function and interface with multidisciplinary medical personnel in both civilian‑based hospital and military field hospital environments. You will work as part of the Diagnostic Section within a miniature surgical facility, functioning and interacting with a small multi‑skilled, emergency‑focussed team specifically prepared to work in mobile tented surgical scenarios or on board the surgical facility on the ship HMNZS CANTERBURY, often in austere and hostile environments, under military operational conditions. The NZ Army primarily only requires plain film diagnostic imaging. However, from time to time the Army will require advice from other radiographic specialties. Therefore it is essential that the Radiographer Officer maintains their own clinical competency and professional relationships with external agencies to provide safe, best‑practice within this environment. Qualifications Must be 18 years old by the time you graduate from the recruit course. Must be currently registered with the New Zealand Medical Imaging Technologist Board and be in possession of a yearly practising certificate. Must hold a current resuscitation qualification, as per New Zealand Resuscitation Council guidelines (minimum intermediate standard). Ideally you will have two years post‑graduate experience with a trauma focus. Benefits As a Reservist you are paid on an hourly rate rather than a salary. Pay rates depend on the role you are in and your rank; your pay will increase as you move through the ranks. As an Army Reserve soldier, the minimum remuneration you will be paid is a daily rate, including holiday pay. The NZDF also pays 4% Kiwisaver on top of your personal contribution. Your remuneration will increase on promotion and seniority. #J-18808-Ljbffr
