We are looking for a Therapeutic Radiographer to join our friendly multi-professional radiotherapy team at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. Torbay delivers a range of techniques, including Lung SABR, and is actively engaged in research with both commercial and non-commercial trials.
This post is suitable for either a qualified Therapeutic Radiographer who is ready for an exciting change or a student due to qualify in 2025. You will be joining at an exciting time when we will be commissioning and installing SGRT on both our linacs.
You will be joining our caring, committed, and innovative team in beautiful South Devon. We value creativity, inclusivity, and work-life balance. Share our vision, and you’ll thrive here, surrounded by nature and opportunity.
You will work as part of a team on the linear accelerators providing safe and accurate radiotherapy treatment. The post holder will also rotate through pre-treatment to include RT-CT and pre-treatment data entry.
You Will Need To
* Provide safe and accurate radiotherapy planning and treatment to patients across a broad range of tumour sites.
* Support the team leader in managing patient workflow, assisting in organising and managing the clinical workload.
* Work flexibly as the service demands.
* Provide exceptional patient care at all times.
Our department comprises two matched Elekta VERSA Linacs, Mosaiq Oncology Management System, Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS), Limbus AI OAR outlining software, and Canon Aquilion CT Scanner (installed in 2024). We actively participate in clinical trials. Lung SABR Treatment started in 2021 and is expanding, with Bone and Nodal Treatments expected to commence in early 2025.
We have a Support and Information Radiographer, Urology Specialist Radiographer, and Colorectal/Gynae Specialist Radiographers, all independent prescribers. We are involved in the award-winning late effects service project and have a dedicated research radiographer embedded in the oncology research and development team.
Future plans include implementing SGRT early 2025, upgrading Mosaiq, implementing EPIC, and commissioning a new Treatment Planning System. Long-term, we are preparing for back-to-back Linac replacement programs.
