Lead Clinical Technologist (Dosimetrist) - Band 7

An exciting opportunity is available within the Radiotherapy Physics Department at The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for an experienced, forward-thinking Band 7 Clinical Technologist (Dosimetrist) to join our friendly Medical Physics Team. We offer a contemporary Radiotherapy Service and have recently implemented a number of key service improvements including AI auto-contouring and surface-guided radiotherapy. We are currently building a fourth bunker and expect to install a new machine early in 2025. We are aiming to upgrade both our patient management system and treatment planning system in 2025 with various initiatives to improve both the efficiency and quality of our processes and treatments. We have a growing SABR program and are committed to improving the access to these techniques for our patients.

As part of the Dosimetrist team, you will be responsible for the production of routine and highly-complex radiotherapy treatment plans covering VMAT and SABR. You will be expected to undertake complex techniques and play a key role in future developments, including quality/service and process improvement initiatives. You will also, at times, have delegated responsibility for all technical aspects of treatment planning and mould room, including line management of clinical technologists employed in a Dosimetrist capacity.
