Job overview

We are recruiting for a Therapy Radiographer who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated therapy radiographer to join us at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, based in Northwood, Middlesex.

You will work as an unsupervised worker and supervise junior staff, students and assistants.

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‑rate.

At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will carry out complex technical radiotherapeutic procedures on all the treatment and pre‑treatment units in the department on a rotational basis.

You will undertake the appropriate care of patients, assessment of treatment progress and side effects, making appropriate referral to the multi‑disciplinary team.

You will assess patients' level of knowledge before commencing with treatment and thus participate in the informed consent process.

You will have to provide appropriate information or refer to support services.

You will also guide, instruct and support patients receiving radiotherapy and advise patients on necessary aftercare.

Working for our organisation

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We run the following hospitals:

• 
  
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
  
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
  
• Hertford County, Hertford
  

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient‑led Trust where dedicated staff provide high‑quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work‑life balance for our employees. Any employee is entitled to seek flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen to and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
