Radiation Therapist – Be Part of Something Bigger at Mayo Clinic

Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of cancer patients while working at the forefront of innovation in radiation oncology? At Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, our Radiation Therapists are more than skilled professionals—they’re essential members of a world‑class care team, delivering hope and healing every single day. Join a large, diverse, and dynamic team of over 100 Radiation Therapists supporting one of the most advanced and comprehensive oncology practices in the country. We treat over 5,000 patients annually, offering everything from photon and proton therapy to brachytherapy, orthovoltage, gamma knife, and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT).

What You’ll Do
  • Deliver precise, compassionate care to cancer patients through radiation therapy.
  • Perform treatment simulations and mentor the next generation of RTTs through clinical instruction.
  • Take part in advanced procedures such as IORT, brachytherapy, simulation, orthovoltage.
  • Participate in care team meetings, interdisciplinary communication, and scheduling.
  • Be flexible—coverage may include multiple Rochester or regional sites, on‑call duties, shift work, and mandatory overtime when needed.
What Makes This Role Special?
  • No cross‑covering between departments: our photon and proton departments operate independently, allowing you to build deep expertise in your area.
  • Extended hours, expanded opportunities: our high patient volume keeps things exciting—photon operates extended hours, while proton runs two shifts, covering 16 hours a day.
  • Interdisciplinary teamwork: collaborate closely with physicians, physicists, dosimetrists, nurses, and social workers to provide holistic care for our patients—over 900 of whom receive support from our dedicated social work team each year.
