We are currently recruiting radiographers for a well-functioning radiology department in central Sweden.

The positions are available due to increased patient demand and upcoming retirements.

This is a long-term opportunity within a stable public healthcare provider offering modern equipment, a structured introduction programme, and a clear pathway toward Swedish professional authorization.

The department

The department consists of approximately 30 employees, including 15 radiographers, radiologists, assistant nurses and medical physicists. The unit operates in recently renovated facilities with newly upgraded CT, conventional X-ray, ultrasound and fluoroscopy equipment. An MRI replacement is planned.

Both acute and elective imaging are performed. The department collaborates closely with primary care, inpatient services, the emergency department, private healthcare providers, and other radiology units within the county. This ensures a varied and clinically broad workload.

Several radiographers have previously been internationally recruited and are now well established locally with their families, contributing to a supportive and inclusive working environment.

The hospital serves approximately 27,000 inhabitants locally and around 39,000 in the wider catchment area. The area offers a safe, family-friendly environment with access to schools, childcare, and extensive natural surroundings.

The role

The position includes standard duties as a licensed radiographer, primarily within:

Conventional radiography

CT

MRI (may become part of responsibilities over time)

You will work with both emergency and planned examinations.

A structured introduction programme lasting 6–12 months is provided, depending on previous experience, to ensure competence in equipment, routines, and Swedish clinical standards.

Collaboration with a nearby radiology unit (approximately 40 minutes by car) may occur. Travel takes place during working hours.

Evening standby duty is included. Approximately once per week. You are required to be on site within 30 minutes when on standby duty. Therefore, it is necessary that you either hold a valid driver’s license and have access to a car, or live within close distance of the hospital.
