Job description

We are delighted to offer you the chance to join PTHB as an Aspiring Radiographer. Join our dynamic Radiography Team as a Radiography Support Worker, supporting the delivery of high-quality care to our patients in a community hospital setting. This is a Radiography Training Role; we will release you from your duties to undertake your degree level studies on the BSc (Hons) Radiography Course at Bangor University. The course is a full-time degree programme delivered at the Bangor University Wrexham-based Campus over the duration of 3 academic years, starting September 2026. Please see attached Job Description and Person Specification for further information regarding the main duties of the role along with the essential and desirable criteria required of our applicants.

As the degree programme is a full-time programme, the majority of the contracted hours will be spent undertaking study leave to meet the requirements of the degree programme, either through attendance at academic study/lectures or clinical placement learning opportunities.

When the university academic calendar allows i.e. during academic holidays and other identified and agreed days/hours, the successful candidate will undertake planned clinical duties as a Radiography Support Worker in the clinical environment/community Hospital setting.

There is a requirement to travel between PTHB hospital sites as well as attend Bangor University's Wrexham-based Campus for academic studies and therefore the successful candidate will require a driver's licence and access to a vehicle.

Applications from candidates expecting A' Level results in August 2026 are welcome, and any offer of employment will be subject to achieving results that meet the university entry requirements.

At the end of your academic studies, you will be guaranteed a Band 5 Radiographer Role in PTHB and will be committed to working in PTHB for a minimum of 2 years post registration.

Being the smallest Heath Board in Wales means that you won't get lost in the crowd. Everybody at Powys Teaching Health Board is valued for the contribution they make to our varied and diverse portfolio of community-based services. Together, we can continue to make a real difference to our patients and build on our unrivalled reputation.

As a supportive and progressive employer, we actively encourage you to carve out a career with us, through a range of development pathways. We're also lucky enough to be situated in one of the most beautiful rural counties in Britain, let alone Wales! Achieving a healthy 'life work' balance is essential, and something we recognise by prioritising your well-being.
