Overview
We are a networked, paperless, Varian department. We have a managed service contract securing a fleet of five Varian linear accelerators, two CT simulators, a Bravos brachytherapy unit and Xstrahl superficial unit. Our dosimetry planning is radiographer-led, predominately using VMAT and IMRT. We also have an established SABR service and an expanding on-treatment review team including a therapeutic radiographer-led late effects review service. We have SGRT (Align RT) on all our Linacs and on CT (SimRT).
We are a clinical placement site for student radiographers from the University of Suffolk and University of Hertfordshire (UH), and apprentices from Sheffield Hallam University and UH. This gives you the opportunity to help us shape the next generation of therapeutic radiographers.
The department actively promotes the Trusts PRIDE values - People-focused, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, Excellence.
We welcome applications from therapeutic radiographers with good communication and excellent teamworking skills, who are keen to play a role in keeping our service at the forefront of modern radiotherapy. We understand the importance of radiographer advancement and will support you with your personal development.
