A Vacancy at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust.
Radiation Physics are recruiting a Deputy Head of Nuclear Medicine Physics. We are looking for an experienced person in nuclear medicine imaging and molecular radiotherapy to lead our busy molecular radiotherapy service.
The successful candidate will be an HCPC registered clinical scientist, a certificated MPE with extensive relevant experience. We are looking for someone who could act as an RPA or RWA however support will be given for promising individuals to obtain one or more of these within an agreed timeframe.
We provide a clinical, scientific and technical service to the Diagnostic and Oncology Directorates of the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust at both Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells sites and to other Departments of the Trust as required. The Section provides a Molecular Radiotherapy Service and provision for support to PET-CT.
The department provides training across all disciplines and levels. The department supports staff undertaking HSST, STP and RCT (and equivalences) or working towards professional certifications.
There may be opportunities to be involved in Radiation Safety activities across the wider Radiation Physics group should the post holder be interested in this.”
The post holder will work alongside the Nuclear Medicine Physics team to ensure that all radiation practices within the Nuclear Medicine Departments at MTW comply with regulatory requirements, national guidance and best practice.
They will use their own professional judgement when providing complex, wide-ranging expert advice to clinical staff on the optimisation of patient imaging, quality assurance, radiation dosimetry, radiation safety and the interpretation of scientific results. The highly-specialist, complex and advanced nature of this expert advice may mean that there is no immediate recourse to another clinical scientist.
In particular, the post holder will be expected to lead the molecular radiotherapy programme, including running the established services (which currently routinely includes Ra-223 Xofigo, I-131 ablation and thyrotoxicosis therapies, and occasional Lu-177 Dotatate with a view to establishing a Lu-177 PSMA service in the near future) and working with the Head of Nuclear Medicine Physics and Head of Radiation Physics where required to continually develop the services, including introduction of novel therapies where appropriate.
