We are looking for a Clinical Scientist to join our Radiotherapy Physics team as Senior Radiotherapy Physicist leading on Stereo & Imaging.
The Oncology department is a well-equipped centre treating patients from across East London and Essex, committed to introducing the latest treatment techniques as well as the latest equipment. External beam radiotherapy is delivered on Varian Halcyon, Edge, and Ethos Therapy linacs.
The department was the first in the country to treat patients on Halcyon, and to treat patients with on-line adaptive radiotherapy on Ethos. The Edge treatment machine is our primary stereotactic machine, with high-definition MLC, 4D-CBCT, 6 DoF couch, and is HyperArc-enabled. Aria is cloud-based, hosted by Varian Full-Scale Infinity Cloud. Treatment Planning is done on Eclipse 17 (with RapidPlan and MCO licences) and in Ethos, with auto-contouring on Limbus. The department fully supports a wide range of clinical trials, and has an excellent selection of QA devices and software. We have a new Siemens go.Sim CT scanner which went clinical recently; within the last two years we have introduced HyperSight on Ethos and Identify SGRT on all linacs. We are about to start an SRS service in partnership with Barts Hospital. Our current commissioned SABR treatments are lung, bone (non-spine), nodes, adrenal nodes, and spine. A full linac refresh is due in 2027.
Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to get in touch-please contact Dom Withers-dom.withers@nhs.net
The successful candidate will be responsible for the imaging and stereotactic services of Radiotherapy Physics, to include imaging equipment commissioning, optimising images for clinical use, and introducing and managing stereotactic treatment techniques.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, was named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal in 2024.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub in Hornchurch.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
