Job description

An opportunity has arisen for talented individuals to join the treatment team as a band 5 Treatment Radiographer within the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust's radiotherapy department. We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, and dynamic individuals who will fit in quickly with the treatment team. We encourage students expecting to qualify in the summer of 2025 to apply now.

We have established our SABR treatment delivery programme and are now using SGRT on our newest linac. We treat intra-cranial SRS, TBI & TLNI, and brachytherapy. You will have the opportunity to expand your knowledge across treatment and pre-treatment pathways and will be expected to participate in the emergency on-call rota.

We actively support professional development and encourage radiographer-led research and QI projects. Flexible working arrangements are supported, and all applicants are expected to support the service's working hours and work across sites.

Our equipment portfolio includes five TrueBeam Linacs, Siemens Open go.Pro CT scanner, and Xstrahl unit. Our Elekta Flexitron Brachytherapy unit is based at Hammersmith Hospital in a dedicated brachytherapy suite. We are about to replace our two oldest linacs and will be installing the Accuray Radixact system, making this an exciting time to join our team.

Key Responsibilities

1. Maintain a level of clinical practice commensurate with departmental standards through ongoing professional development.
2. Achieve and maintain standards set for clinical and non-clinical performance.
3. Be professionally and legally accountable for own clinical practice.
4. As an IR(ME)R operator, take full responsibility for all treatment preparation and calculations, and treatments undertaken by oneself and signed off as correct.
5. Be aware of own limitations in knowledge and seek advice or assistance from colleagues, Medical Physics Experts, or Consultant Clinical Oncologists.
6. Work on a rotational and on-call basis within all preparation, planning, and treatment areas within the Trust's Radiotherapy Departments.
7. Interpret treatment prescriptions and plans accurately and advise patients accordingly.
8. Work across sites and collaborate to standardize procedures and techniques.
9. Document all information necessary for accurate patient treatment.
10. Assist in maintaining and checking treatment records.

At Imperial College Healthcare, you can achieve extraordinary things with extraordinary people, working with leading clinicians pushing boundaries in patient care.

Become part of a vibrant team embodying our values: expert, kind, collaborative, and aspirational. You’ll gain unique experience and accelerate your career.
