The Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) are two separate companies operating together to provide service and support for those involved in radiography. Together they comprise the professional body and trade union for those practising in medical imaging and radiotherapy. The Society of Radiographers (SoR) are looking to recruit a Regional Officer to join our Trade Union and Industrial Relations Team. We are offering an exciting opportunity to join our team of national and regional officers as a regional officer for the Southeast region. We’re seeking a positive, knowledgeable, and proactive leader who can represent and support our members across the region.

- Contribute to the Society’s policy development and organisational practices and potentially take on a national lead area within the National and Regional Officer team.
- Coordinate and help deliver recruitment, development, and training programmes for Representatives, enhancing engagement and support for members across the region while contributing to UKwide initiatives.
This role offers a high degree of autonomy and flexibility. Travel within the region will be required, but we strongly utilise technology and online platforms to maximise efficiency and maintain strong connections with members, representatives, and partners.
