Job Description

The Team

At BreastScreen Tasmania, we’re a passionate, statewide team committed to improving the health and wellbeing of Tasmanian women through early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Our multidisciplinary service operates across the South, North, and North-West of the state, delivering high-quality, trauma-informed care in both screening and assessment settings.

We currently have exciting opportunities available in Hobart, where you’ll join a collaborative and supportive team that values professional growth and innovation. From mentoring junior staff to contributing to service development, you’ll be part of a workplace that invests in your future while making a real difference in the lives of women across Tasmania.

This year we have moved into a new, purpose-built screening and assessment facility in Hobart, designed to enhance service delivery and provide a modern, supportive work environment.

The Role

• As a Senior Radiographer, you’ll deliver screening and diagnostic mammography services, working closely with a multidisciplinary team to provide person-centred care and uphold national standards.
• Take a leading role in the supervision and training of less experienced staff performing duties with the BreastScreen Australia program, ensuring that professional standards are maintained.
• Assist in the design, review and updating of protocols and procedures for work practices within the BreastScreen accreditation and quality assurance framework, ensuring compliance with work practices, and supporting the concept of continuous quality improvement.

This is a dynamic time to join us. We’re building a public Diagnostic Breast Imaging service, offering the chance to be part of a significant initiative improving access to breast imaging across Tasmania. There is opportunity to be supported to upskill - such as through a Graduate Certificate in Breast Imaging- to perform breast ultrasound and broaden your scope.

This role offers family-friendly hours, no on-call requirements, and flexible work arrangements to suit your lifestyle.

You will need

• Experience in screening and assessment mammography
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A collaborative approach and mentoring capability
• Commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement

If you're ready to grow your career while contributing to a vital service for Tasmanian women, we’d love to hear from you.
