Welcome to Public Health Wales, the national public health organisation for Wales

Our vision is Working to achieve a healthier future for Wales

Applicants are invited to apply in Welsh, any application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application made in English. To support our all Wales service, we particularly welcome applications from Welsh speakers.

Following a positive recommendation from the UK National Screening Committee and the successful delivery of a pilot in North Rhondda, the Welsh Government has approved the implementation of Lung Screening Wales (LSW) as a new national screening programme. This is an exciting opportunity for experienced and motivated radiographers to play a key role in developing and delivering a service that will improve health outcomes across Wales.

We are seeking to recruit two CT Superintendent Radiographers to support the development and implementation of LSW. Working closely with the Lead Radiographer and multidisciplinary programme team, post holders will have a unique opportunity to utilise their clinical knowledge and gain valuable strategic experience whilst establishing imaging services and preparing the programme for operational delivery.

As the service transitions into operational delivery in early 2028, post holders will move into senior leadership roles managing a Mobile Screening Unit (MSU) within a designated geographical region (See regions below), delivering safe, effective and participant-centred screening services.

We are looking for experienced CT radiographers with strong leadership, communication and organisational skills, a commitment to quality improvement, and a passion for reducing health inequalities and improving population health across Wales.

Lung Screening Wales includes several stages in the participant pathway, including cohort identification and invitation, risk assessment, low-dose CT (LDCT) scanning, image reporting, integrated smoking cessation support and results management.

The CT Superintendent Radiographers will play a key role in implementing and delivering the imaging pathway, ensuring services are delivered in accordance with national standards, professional guidance and programme requirements.

During the implementation phase, post holders will contribute to activities required to establish the imaging service and prepare the programme for operational delivery.

From early 2028, each CT Superintendent Radiographer will lead the day-to-day operation of a regional MSU, providing clinical and operational leadership to Radiographers and Assistant Practitioners while also undertaking LDCT scanning activity. They will maintain high standards of imaging quality, radiation safety, participant experience and governance, while supporting continuous service improvement across the programme.
