We offer:

• A job that is challenging and versatile, with many different tasks.
• Exciting and developing professional environment

• Positive, cheerful, and a good sense of humor
• Experience with DR/CT (new graduates are welcome)

The position:

We offer both a temporary position of at least 3 months duration and a permanent position as a radiographer in the department. You will primarily work with conventional X-ray and CT, but we also offer MRI and ultrasound upon request.

Day shifts run from 07:30 - 15:30 in a 40-hour work week. Shifts are on-call from home and start from 08:00 - 16:00 on a weekday and end at 07:30 the next day. On weekends, it is 24-hour on-call from home.

About the department:

In the Radiology Department at Queen Ingrid's Hospital, conventional X-ray examinations, CT scans, MRI scans, as well as ultrasound examinations, clinical mammographies, and some fluoroscopy examinations are performed.

The radiology department in Nuuk has 2 Toshiba CT scanners: Aquilion One and Prime, 2 MRI scanners: 1.5 T GE Voyager and Hitachi 0.4 T Aperto Lucent, 2 Toshiba DR systems, one with fluoroscopy, a Fuji FDR Go for outdoor photography, and Siemens Mammomat.

We receive staff from Denmark, who come approximately every 6 weeks to perform mammography. About 17,000 examinations are performed annually in Nuuk, and 15,000 along the coast.

We work in Sectra RIS/PACS and Cosmic EPJ. Furthermore, we are in the process of modernizing the entire department with new facilities and machines, with the latest being our MRI scanner from GE. We are 7 radiographers, 1-2 nurses, 1-2 radiology assistants, 1-2 health assistants, 1 health helper, and 1 secretary.

It is a department characterized by a high degree of independence with responsibility and competence, as we sometimes need to function without a radiologist.

In the radiology department here at Queen Ingrid's Hospital, we make a great effort to keep the atmosphere and social interactions at a high level. When the schedule allows, we go for a stair hike to the 7th floor together and share a selfie for our internal Facebook group. Otherwise, we have breakfast together every Friday, arrange cozy evenings in the coffee room or in restaurants now and then. We respect and take care of each other, as well as share the workload.
