An exciting opportunity has arisen to enable you to take your first steps to become a Diagnostic Radiographer.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated person to join our team as an apprentice radiographer. This is a new role that will see you working alongside a multidisciplinary team whilst you train to become a radiographer.

On completion of the apprenticeship you will gain a BSc (Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography and Imaging and will be eligible to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Diagnostic Radiographer.
Admission requirements are in line with those required for the equivalent university based degree programme - Diagnostic Radiographer Apprenticeship programme at the University of Exeter.
The Diagnostic Radiographer Apprentice will be based in the Diagnostic Imaging Department at Musgrove Park Hospital and will rotate through peripheral sites. The post holder will be expected to take part in the extended working day and 7 day rotation system.
