The Role

You will hold overall accountability for radiotherapy physics and dosimetry services at the Leeds centre, acting as the local Medical Physics Expert (MPE) and senior escalation point. You will lead, develop and integrate the local physics and dosimetry team into the GenesisCare national physics network, ensuring safe, high quality, multi platform service delivery.

What You’ll Do
  • Provide senior leadership for radiotherapy physics and dosimetry services across MR Linac and CT based linacs.
  • Line manage centre based physicists and dosimetrists, supporting capability, performance and succession planning.
  • Act as the senior local escalation point for complex or non standard cases.
  • Own local governance, QA and compliance (including IR(ME)R).
  • Lead the local adoption of national physics initiatives and new technologies.
  • Work closely with national physics leadership, local centre leadership, radiographers and oncologists as part of the senior MDT.
Training & Development Commitment (Minimum Requirement)

This role includes a structured onboarding and advanced platform training programme to support safe mobilisation of the Leeds service. This will require regular national travel and extended periods away from home during the onboarding phase. This will be planned in advance.

  • Onboarding duration: typically 6 months to full platform and network integration.
  • Off site training model: block based placements at established GenesisCare centres (typically 1–2 weeks per month over the first 6 months), embedded within MR Linac and CT adaptive services.
  • Travel expectation: regular national travel with overnight stays during training blocks.
  • Vendor training: Elekta Unity MR Linac, RayStation treatment planning (including adaptive workflows), and Elekta EVO CT adaptive systems.
  • Structured platform competency training: supervised training in MR Linac physics workflows, on set adaptive processes, CT adaptive planning, and GenesisCare governance systems.
  • Participation in formal competency assessment and clinical sign off prior to acting independently as centre MPE across all platforms.

This programme is mandatory and designed to ensure safe leadership of a complex, multi platform physics service from day one of clinical delivery.

What You’ll Have
  • HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist.
  • Certified Medical Physics Expert (MPE) in Radiotherapy.
  • Extensive post qualification experience in radiotherapy physics.
  • Proven leadership and line management experience.
  • Broad technical expertise across treatment planning, QA and advanced techniques.
Why Choose GenesisCare
  • 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with buy/sell options).
  • Private medical and dental cover, income protection and EAP.
  • Free world class radiotherapy for you and your immediate family, if required.
  • Company contributory pension scheme.
  • Wellbeing support including Babylon Health and Headspace.

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.
