Competitive remuneration + equity options | Part Time, 1-2 days a week | Clayton, Melbourne VIC

Report X-ray, ultrasound and CT, and perform CT-guided and ultrasound-guided procedures at Scope Radiology in Clayton, with equity options available.

Scope Healthcare is a specialist cardiac, sleep and respiratory group across Greater Melbourne, and we're now moving into radiology with Scope Radiology at M-City in Clayton. The group includes Heartscope, one of Melbourne's largest cardiac diagnostic providers with over 15 locations, and Sleepscope, which provides sleep and respiratory testing and consultations.
