We are recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Radiographer
Location: Opposite Fire Service Station, Umuahia - Abia
Job type: Full-time (Onsite)
Department: Clinic Operations
Reports to: Center Manager
Role Objective
- The Radiographer is responsible for producing high-quality diagnostic images that referring clinicians can rely on to diagnose and treat their patients correctly. Working from our clinic, you will manage the imaging schedule, position and reassure patients, operate radiographic equipment safely, and document findings clearly for our physician team.
- For many of our patients, this is their first diagnostic imaging of any kind, so the role carries as much responsibility for patient comfort as it does for image quality.
- All clinical documentation and patient flow runs through BeaconOS, our own platform, which you will be trained on during onboarding. In clinics where you also cover the ultrasound room, you will perform sonographic examinations alongside your radiography duties.
Key Responsibilities
Reporting to the Center Manager, the Radiographer's responsibilities include:
Patient interaction:
- Welcome each patient into the examination room and help them settle in comfortably
- Review the referring clinician's notes and ask relevant questions about the patient's symptoms

General radiography:
- Develop a daily priority list that completes all scheduled procedures while leaving room for emergencies
- Determine the most appropriate imaging method for each patient
- Operate all radiographic equipment, including portable units
- Assist patients who need help changing or positioning, including those who are seriously ill, injured, or living with a disability
Specialised radiography:
- Position patients and equipment to obtain the clearest, most accurate image possible
- Measure the section to be radiographed and adjust machine controls for appropriate density, detail, and contrast
- Apply radiation protection devices to areas outside the field of exposure
- Review developed images and determine whether they are satisfactory for diagnostic purposes
Equipment and safety:
- Apply radiation safety measures in line with regulatory requirements, protecting patients, colleagues, and yourself
- Perform scheduled maintenance and minor repairs, and escalate faults promptly
- Ensure the X-ray room is properly sanitised and waste is disposed of correctly
- Monitor radiographic supply levels and submit purchase requests in good time
Documentation and reporting:
- Analyse and report imaging results to our physician team
- Maintain detailed, accurate, and confidential patient records in BeaconOS
- Monitor patient condition and reactions, reporting abnormal signs to the physician
Ultrasound support (applies at clinics where the Radiographer covers the ultrasound room):
- Perform sonographic examinations, selecting appropriate settings and patient positioning
- Verify measurements and calculations before results are released
- Decontaminate transducers and equipment between every patient
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree or HND in Radiography or Medical Imaging
- Current registration with the Radiographers Registration Board of Nigeria (RRBN)
