Overview

Diagnostic imaging is the single most under-supplied allied health field in the UK — and the shortage is mirrored across Ireland, the Gulf, Australia and beyond. Sonography in particular sits at critical levels, which means genuine choice of employer, strong pay and real leverage for the right candidate.

Because we specialise, we understand the difference between an MSK sonographer and an obstetric one, between plain-film and cross-sectional reporting — and we place imaging professionals, physiotherapists and ODPs at every level, from newly-qualified Band 5 to consultant and advanced-practice roles.

Where the demand is

United Kingdom — sonography and cross-sectional (MRI/CT) reporting are at critical shortage; strong Band 6–8a and advanced-practice demand, with HCPC registration support.
Ireland — growing demand across imaging and therapies; CORU registration supported.
Australia & New Zealand — AHPRA (and the NZ Medical Radiation Technologists Board) with strong regional demand and relocation incentives.
Canada — provincial-college registration and healthcare-focused immigration routes.
The Gulf — tax-free imaging and therapy posts; DataFlow verification handled.
United States — state licensure and strong demand for experienced imaging professionals.

What you'll need

  • A recognised degree in your allied health field (radiography, sonography, physiotherapy, ODP, etc.)
  • Regulator registration (or eligibility — we guide you through it)
  • Evidence of English-language competence (IELTS / OET) where required
  • Clinical experience in your modality or specialty

Relocation & support

Moving country is a big step. We support you through visa sponsorship, professional registration and the practical side — from finding your feet in a new department to advice on housing and settling your family. Our service is free to you, because the hiring employer pays our fee.

Common questions

How long does HCPC registration take?
It varies by country of training and how complete your evidence is, but typically a few months. Starting the English test early is the single biggest time-saver, and we help you get everything in order up front.
Which roles are most in demand?
Ultrasound (sonography) is the stand-out shortage, followed by cross-sectional (MRI/CT) and reporting radiographers. Demand is strong across imaging and therapies.
Do you place physiotherapists and ODPs?
Yes — alongside imaging, we place physiotherapists, operating department practitioners and other allied health professionals, permanent and fixed-term.
Do you place locum work?
No — we place permanent and fixed-term roles only, across the UK and internationally.
