Band 7: £46,148 to £52,809 a year per annum pro rata  FIXED TERM 

The main role of this post is to participate in all aspects of the work of the Radiotherapy Physics Group. This includes carrying out complex procedures, introducing new techniques and carrying out applied research, providing advice to consultant oncologists and other healthcare professionals to resolve problems with complex Radiotherapy equipment and treatment plans.

This work has a direct impact on patient treatments and occasionally brings the postholder into direct contact with patients during their treatment and treatment planning. The postholder liases with a wide range of staff in Radiotherapy, Medical Physics, and at all levels within the Trust, and with external equipment manufacturers and engineers.

Maternity cover - 12 months fixed term post


Senior Radiotherapy Physicist (Band 7)

We are looking to recruit a band 7 scientist to join our team in our modern and excellently equipped department. You will ideally already be HCPC registered as a clinical scientist but applications are also welcome from trainees nearing qualification (if not yet registered appointment to a lower band may be considered until registration is achieved).

You will undertake the full range of radiotherapy physicist duties, including treatment planning, checking, brachytherapy, equipment commissioning and QA, training staff and advising clinicians. There will also be involvement in developing new techniques and collaborative research projects with the University are encouraged.

The OUH Radiotherapy Centre at the Churchill Hospital is a five linac, all-Varian (including Halcyon, TrueBeam) site with CT-sim, ARIA, Eclipse and HDR brachytherapy unit, plus a prostate seed brachytherapy service. Our existing satellite centre in Swindon operates a further two linacs and a CT-sim. A second satellite centre in Milton Keynes operating a single linac and CT-sim will open later in 2024. Supporting systems include AI auto-contouring and RadCalc. We have a modern suite of treatment planning functionality including RapidPlan, MCO, HyperArc and Velocity, and we treat with a wide variety of techniques including SRS/SRT and SABR. We have a range of development work underway and on the horizon and also an active computing team working to develop software and scripts for automation and data analysis. We have close links with the CRUK/MRC Oxford Institute for Radiation Oncology and an expanding portfolio of clinical trials
