Radiation Therapist jobs in United Kingdom

A new opportunity has become available within the Radiotherapy Physics Department at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for a Band 6 Clinical Technologist (Dosimetrist) to join our friendly team.

We offer a contemporary Radiotherapy Service and have implemented several key service improvements including AI auto‑contouring and surface‑guided radiotherapy (SGRT). We have recently commissioned a new Varian Truebeam linear accelerator equipped with the UK’s first DoseRT system (real‑time dose visualisation using Cherenkov imaging) and are actively collaborating with the vendor. We have many exciting projects in the pipeline including moving our patient management system and treatment planning system to the cloud and several initiatives to improve both the efficiency and quality of our processes and treatments (e.g. RapidPlan, Scripting, Transit Dosimetry, QMS, QC management systems, 3D printing). We have a growing SABR program and are committed to improving the access to these techniques for all our patients.

As part of the Dosimetrist team you will be responsible for supporting treatment planning and mould room services. This will include routine treatment planning of a variety of treatment sites and fabrication of patient immobilisation devices. You will be expected to support future developments of the department, including quality/service and process improvement initiatives, and participate in appropriate CPD/training.

Join us at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, where our passion for excellence drives everything we do. We’re on a mission to provide high quality, safe care to our patients, in an environment our incredible staff are proud to work in. Our vision, ‘To provide excellent care for the communities we serve,’ is not just a statement; it’s a promise we live by every day. Guided by our core Values – Partnering, Ambitious, Caring, and Trusted – we’re determined to make a real difference in the lives of those who matter most: our patients and their families.

The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital is a fully‑networked Varian department with three TrueBeam linear accelerators equipped with OBI, RapidArc, respiratory gating, SGRT and 6dof couches. We have a Canon Exceed Large Bore CT scanner with Varian RGSC and use the Eclipse TPS. We use the Limbus AI auto‑contouring tool and perform secondary dose calculations using RadCalc.
