Job description

We are pleased to offer an opportunity to join our friendly and forward‑thinking radiotherapy physics team at North Middlesex Hospital in North London as a Band 7 Radiotherapy Physicist.

This post is ideally suited to candidates who have recently completed the STP and achieved HCPC registration, or those nearing completion and looking to develop strong clinical and technical skills within a supportive team.

Our radiotherapy service is equipped with Varian TrueBeam and Halcyon linacs, with Varian Eclipse used for all treatment planning. We have recently commissioned a TrueBeam equipped with HyperSight and AlignRT for SGRT. We also have an XStrahl treatment unit for superficial radiotherapy. The department provides a comprehensive physics service across treatment planning, machine QA, and molecular radiotherapy. You will be able to rotate through each section and contribute to service improvement and innovation alongside routine clinical work. Ongoing developments include knowledge-based planning, QA automation with RadMachine, planning with RapidArcDynamic, and lots more besides.

The team includes 10 clinical scientists (including this post), 6 dosimetrists, and 6 engineering and technical staff, creating a collaborative and well-supported working environment.

Flexible working is supported across the Trust, with a hybrid model combining on-site and remote working.

The post holder will participate in the general Radiotherapy Physics service provision to the North Middlesex Hospital site. The post holder may be required to specialise in one or more sections within the Radiotherapy Physics service.

The physicist’s role is to ensure the safe delivery of the Radiotherapy Physics service assisting the Head of the service as well as the designated Medical Physics Experts in their various areas of responsibility.

The post holder will be responsible to the Deputy Head of Radiotherapy Physics and to the Principal Physicists when working in their specific areas.

The post holder will also be expected to work closely with Radiotherapy Radiographers, Clinical Oncologists and Specialist Radiotherapy Registrars.

North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICs’s, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an IC infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.

We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
