Assistant Physicist - Radiotherapy Physics | East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust

We are recruiting for an Assistant Physicist who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.

Radiotherapy physics is part of a multi‑disciplinary team in a large Cancer Centre. The Section consists of Clinical Scientists, practitioners in radiotherapy physics, radiographers, linac and computer engineers.

The centre has 7 Varian linear accelerators, and a brachytherapy suite. Patient treatments are planned on one of our dedicated wide bore CT scanners with access to MR and CT‑PET imaging within the Paul Strickland Scanner centre.

As the post is for 1 year, the successful applicant will be trained to do a limited number of the tasks in the job description, the time spent in a clinical department will give invaluable experience to anyone interested in a future career in radiotherapy physics.

• 
  
• Assist with patient specific measurements and calculations.
  
• Assist with quality assurance measurements on linear accelerators.
  
• Assist with planning of patient treatments on the computerised treatment planning system.
  
• Assist in theatre for brachytherapy procedures.
  
• Perform some data analysis and processing.
  

Personal initiative, a keen sense of responsibility, manual dexterity and a high degree of accuracy are expected in all duties. Although experience of working with radiation is desirable, it is not a requirement and appropriate training will be provided.

In addition, you will receive a High‑Cost Area Supplement of 15% of your basic salary, subject to a minimum payment of £4,552 and a maximum payment of £5,735 per annum pro rata.
