The SoR is recruiting now for two members of its officer team, one professional officer for education and accreditation as well as a regional officer for the Midlands.
As work continues to increase, with new educational programmes seeking College of Radiographers approval and the healthcare and higher education landscape change, the College is seeking an education and accreditation officer.
Alongside this role, the Society is seeking a regional officer for the Midlands to join the national and regional officers team to represent and support members across the region.
Education and accreditation officer
The post holder will work alongside three others in contributing to the work of the team and enabling the development of education and accreditation work.
This full-time position will provide appropriate, effective, and efficient education and individual accreditation services to education providers and members of the SoR as its fundamental responsibility.

Expertise in education and leadership, as well as a broad understanding of health and social care policy, is required, as is a working knowledge and understanding of the pre and post-registration and continuing education requirements of the College and its individual accreditation work.
Successful applicants will support the development, dissemination and implementation of policy, strategy and guidance in this area for both the Society and College of Radiographers across the UK. They will also advise on, manage, and quality assure the education and individual accreditation services of the organisation.
