Job description

We’re looking to recruit a permanent B6 Technologist (a.k.a Dosimetrist) here at Oxford University Hospitals NHS FT.

The role is primarily based in treatment planning, therefore you'll need to be able to evidence prior treatment planning experience and competence. You'll also need to already have or be very close to attaining relevant registration as detailed in the person specification.

The Oxford radiotherapy service is delivered across our three sites; Oxford, Swindon and Milton Keynes. Depending on your suitability and experience, we may be able to offer a post based entirely (with occasional travel to our main site in Oxford) at either our Swindon or Milton Keynes satellite if you'd prefer not to relocate to Oxford.

We are a very friendly, informal and dynamic team with access to a modern inventory of equipment and a wide range of development work underway and in the pipeline. Whatever your interests, we have something for you.

The role is primarily in support of treatment planning, with aspects of quality assurance and other duties. You will be registered with RCT or HCPC.

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

This post will participate in all aspects of the Radiotherapy Physics Service including carrying out highly complex treatment planning, treatment machine quality control and pre-treatment patient QA, introducing new techniques and carrying out applied research. There may also be the opportunity to be involved in the brachytherapy service.

The postholder also provides expert advice to consultant oncologists and other healthcare professionals to resolve problems with complex Radiotherapy equipment and treatment plans.
