Your Opportunity:

Alberta Health Service (AHS) is currently looking for a driven Radiation Therapist (RT) who wants a flexible opportunity to grow their career as a pivotal member of our Cancer Care team! The Grande Prairie Regional Hospital’s (GPRH) Cancer Centre serves as the regional referral center for the majority of northern Alberta. This brand-new, state-of-the-art facility provides comprehensive care to cancer patients and brings exceptional radiation services to the North Zone. The addition of Linear Accelerator (LINAC) machines allows us to treat most cancers that require radiation treatment without travel. Previously, patients would have to travel to Edmonton for radiation treatment, which can now be accessed closer to their home and family.

As an exciting and emerging hub for Alberta’s North Zone Cancer Care Patients, Grande Prairie is full of growth potential with a unique blend of big city amenities and beautiful rural accessibility. Working in a regional center offers the ability to collaborate closely with Oncologists, Medical Physicists, and other oncology specialists, providing professional growth and leadership opportunities that may take longer to access in larger tertiary centers. Additional benefits include access to dosimetry teamwork and financially supported educational development. The RT role may be eligible for relocation, CAMRT exam, and ACMDTT assessment reimbursement, which can be discussed in advance with the hiring manager. In addition to a competitive pay rate and a low cost of living, this role is eligible for a Remote Retention Allowance up to $3,000 annually. These allowances are non-pensionable and are based on FTE/hours, calculated on the basic pay rate.
