About
the Position
Are you a dedicated
Senior Sonographer with a passion for paediatric
care?
Join our Medical Imaging team at Perth Children's Hospital,
where you will perform a broad range of diagnostic ultrasound
examinations for children of all ages - infants, children and
adolescents - across outpatient, inpatient, emergency, theatre,
NICU and PICU settings.
Working with children is
truly special!
Alongside developing advanced sonography skills, you
will build exceptional communication, empathy and adaptability,
helping children and their families feel safe, supported and
confident throughout their healthcare journey.
This role involves scanning
a wide range of body areas — such as abdomen, head, dopplers,
vessels, hips, eyes, musculo-skeletal — with expert guidance and
regular image review by a radiologist.
You will work closely with a
skilled, multidisciplinary team, often in the NICU and ICU, to
assess image quality, contribute to clinical decision-making and
directly influence patient outcomes.
Key responsibilities
include:
Performing routine and
specialised paediatric ultrasound examinations across a variety
of clinical settings.
Assisting radiologists
with complex and interventional ultrasound
procedures.
Assessing image quality,
recognising pathology, and determining whether additional
imaging or follow-up is required.
Collaborating with
radiologists, clinicians and multidisciplinary teams to support
timely diagnosis and patient care.
Maintaining high
standards of patient safety, privacy, equipment care and
clinical documentation.
Participating in weekend
and on-call rosters as required.
Supervising sonography
students and contributing to education, quality improvement and
service development initiatives.
Previous paediatric
experience is highly regarded but not essential.
We welcome
experienced sonographers from adult healthcare settings and provide
comprehensive support and mentoring to help you transition into
paediatric practice.
What
We Offer
Flexible work
arrangements: Full time, part-time and flexible
options to support work-life balance.
Specialist
education and mentoring: Learn from experienced
paediatric sonographers, tutor sonographers and radiologists
through structured education, case reviews and ongoing
professional development.
Meaningful
clinical work: Make a real difference by providing
imaging that directly supports the diagnosis and care of
children with complex and acute health conditions.
Research and
innovation: Contribute to research, quality
improvement and the advancement of paediatric ultrasound
practice.
A collaborative
team culture: Join a supportive multidisciplinary team
committed to clinical excellence, continuous learning and
family-centred care.
