Summary

During the first year, the CT Superintendent Radiographers will play a leading role in the implementation of Lung Screening Wales. Working closely with the Lead Radiographer and key stakeholders, they will support workforce development, service mobilisation and operational planning, helping to establish the imaging service and prepare Mobile Screening Units (MSUs) for programme launch. As subject matter experts in CT imaging, they will contribute to the development of clinical pathways, protocols and governance processes, while supporting the commissioning, testing and deployment of MSUs across Wales. As the programme transitions into operational delivery from early 2028, each post holder will assume clinical and operational responsibility for a designated MSU and screening region. They will provide leadership to Radiographers and Assistant Practitioners, ensuring the delivery of safe, effective and participant-centred screening services in accordance with programme standards and policies. The post holders will be responsible for maintaining high standards of imaging quality, radiation safety and operational performance. Acting as Radiation Protection Supervisors (RPS), they will ensure compliance with relevant legislation, programme requirements and professional standards. They will lead quality assurance, audit and governance activities, using performance data to drive continuous improvement and support excellent participant outcomes. Working collaboratively with radiologists, nurses, Health Boards and national programme colleagues, the CT Superintendent Radiographers will promote effective pathway delivery, operational consistency and the sharing of best practice across Lung Screening Wales. Regional Mobile Screening Unit Deployment Indicative screening locations currently include: Region 1: Builth Wells, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydfil and Newport. Region 2: Welshpool, Bala, Bangor, Denbigh, Porthmadog and Wrexham. Region 3: Aberystwyth, Lampeter, Cardigan, Carmarthen, Haverfordwest and Swansea. Region 4: Llantrisant, Cardiff and Bridgend. These locations may be subject to change as implementation planning progresses. MSUs will rotate between these locations, returning to each site every three months to provide new, surveillance and recall LDCT screening appointments, with deployment schedules determined by programme requirements and population need. While four screening regions have been identified, two CT Superintendent Radiographers will initially be appointed during the implementation phase. Regional allocations will be determined during implementation planning, considering service requirements and, where possible, the successful candidates' geographical base to minimise travel. A further two CT Superintendent Radiographer posts are expected to be recruited closer to operational delivery, with the aim of providing dedicated leadership for each screening region. This is a hybrid role with flexible/home working arrangements during the implementation phase. Once operational, regular travel throughout the allocated region will be required, together with occasional travel elsewhere in Wales. The post holder will attend their contractual base, MSU locations, healthcare facilities and programme meetings as required to support service delivery. Please note: Lung Screening is a new service currently being established across Wales. The successful candidates initial base will be agreed on appointment. As the service develops, these posts will be aligned to one of four regions across Wales from April 2028. The specific bases for each region are still being determined and this may result in a change to the postholders base once the regional arrangements are finalised. Applicants should therefore be aware that some flexibility in relation to future work location will be required.
