Taking care of people is our reason for being. At Sydney Adventist Hospital, fondly known as the San, caring for people is at the core of who we are. It’s what drives us to deliver exceptional outcomes for our patients and it’s a shared sense of purpose that extends to everyone who works here.
As a contracted On-Call Ultrasound Technologist, you will provide safe, responsive and high-quality ultrasound services outside routine operating hours, including evenings, overnight periods, weekends and public holidays. Working autonomously, you will attend the hospital when required to perform urgent and clinically necessary examinations, delivering high-quality imaging while ensuring patient safety, dignity and comfort. You will work closely with radiologists and clinical teams, escalating concerns appropriately and maintain accurate documentation within RIS/PACS. You will also maintain your professional competency and knowledge of clinical protocols, emergency procedures and after-hours workflows to ensure consistently safe and effective patient care.
You are an experienced sonographer who is confident working independently in an acute hospital environment. You remain calm and responsive when priorities change and bring strong clinical judgement, communication skills and a patient-centred approach.
To be successful, you will bring:
- Post-qualification sonography experience and the ability to work autonomously
- Competency across ultrasound examinations relevant to the after-hours service
- Strong clinical judgement and communication skills
- Experience in Emergency Care, inpatient or acute hospital environments
- Previous after-hours or on-call sonography experience highly regarded
- Ability to meet the availability and attendance requirements of the on-call roster
- Recognised Medical Sonography qualification - essential
This role is ideal for an experienced sonographer looking to use their clinical expertise in an autonomous on-call capacity while supporting patients when urgent imaging is required.
Successful candidates will be required to complete a range of pre-employment checks and assessments. These vary and could include professional references, functional questionnaire, a national police check, working with children check, vaccination evidence, among others. You’ll be responsible for maintaining appropriate professional indemnity, public liability and any other insurance required to operate as an independent contractor.
