Job description

We are looking for a Therapeutic Radiographer to join our friendly multi-professional radiotherapy team at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. Torbay delivers a range of techniques, including Lung SABR, and is actively engaged in research with both commercial and non-commercial trials.

This post is suitable for either a qualified Therapeutic Radiographer who is ready for an exciting change or a student due to qualify in 2025. You will be joining at an exciting time when we will be commissioning and installing SGRT on both our linacs.

You will be joining our caring, committed, and innovative team in beautiful South Devon. We value creativity, inclusivity, and work-life balance. Share our vision, and you'll thrive here, surrounded by nature and opportunity.

You will work as part of a team on the linear accelerators providing safe and accurate radiotherapy treatment. The post holder will also rotate through pre-treatment roles including RT-CT and pre-treatment data entry.

You Will Need To
  • Provide safe and accurate radiotherapy planning and treatment to patients across a broad range of tumour sites.
  • Support the team leader in managing patient workflow and assist in organizing the clinical workload.
  • Work flexibly as the service demands.
  • Provide exceptional patient care at all times.

Our department includes two matched Elekta VERSA Linacs, Mosaiq Oncology Management System, Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS), Limbus AI OAR outlining software, and a Canon Aquilion CT Scanner installed in 2024. We actively participate in clinical trials, with Lung SABR Treatment starting in 2021 and expanding to Bone and Nodal Treatments anticipated in early 2025.

Our team comprises a Support and Information Radiographer, Urology Specialist Radiographer, and Colorectal/Gynae Specialist Radiographers, all independent prescribers. We are involved in the award-winning late effects service project and have a dedicated research radiographer embedded in the oncology research and development team.

Future plans include implementing SGRT early 2025, upgrading Mosaiq, implementing EPIC, and commissioning a new Treatment Planning System. Long-term, we aim to prepare for back-to-back Linac replacement programs.

Responsibilities include maintaining accurate treatment records, assisting with pre-treatment patient plans and accessories, assessing patient suitability for treatment daily, monitoring and reviewing patients as per their clinician’s instructions, evaluating IGRT images, identifying setup problems, and ensuring procedures are carried out efficiently in accordance with protocols and legal requirements.

Compliance with all relevant regulations and guidance, such as IR(ME)R, IRR, HSE, CQC, and HCPC code of conduct, is essential.
