We are looking to recruit a highly motivated, technically skilled, and caring Therapeutic Radiographer to join our well-established Radiotherapy team at University Hospital Dorset - Poole Hospital.
Our radiotherapy service offers a wide range of modern, tattoo-less techniques with a strong commitment to patient care and staff development. This includes a well-developed competency and preceptorship program to help new staff integrate into the service. Our department follows the four-tier structure for radiographers, and you would be working alongside radiographers who have developed to band 8b.
We offer regular opportunities for educational funding (such as MSc modules) and paid attendance at conferences, both nationally and internationally (such as ESTRO).
The department has a fleet of Linacs, including Varian True Beams, two Philips Big Bore CT scanners, Orthovoltage, and Brachytherapy services. We have implemented Surface Guided Radiotherapy (SGRT) and Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy. The department is a reference site for three manufacturers in radiotherapy, often hosting visits to assist other departments' development.
Our oncology management system is Mosaiq, and our planning system is Eclipse. Poole also runs a satellite radiotherapy service in Dorchester, operating one of our four Linacs.
Full-time staff currently work their contracted hours over four days, with a rolling day off each week. The post is based at Poole with a rotation between the main and satellite units at Dorchester during a typical year.
To understand the role in more detail, please read the full job description and person specification documents attached to this advert.
Applicants must be educated to DCR(T)/BSc Hons or equivalent and be registered with the HCPC.
Base Location: Poole Hospital
Interview Date: TBC
Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do, including how we treat our patients, visitors, and colleagues.
UHD is investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following the merger and the New Hospital Programme. Some services may move sites this year or next, either temporarily or long-term. Recruiting Managers will be happy to answer any specific questions about this at interview.
Please note: if the role or service relocates as part of a planned move, employees will not be eligible for excess mileage reimbursement. Travel from the postholder's home to the new work base will be considered a normal commute. Any other changes unrelated to this relocation will be managed according to relevant Trust or National terms and conditions.
