Summary
Due to the retire of our post holders we have two full-time positions available, cross-site at our Canterbury and Maidstone sites, to lead as technical experts in the field of Radiotherapy Planning and to manage the day to day workflow through the section.

Kent Oncology Centre currently has nine Varian linear accelerators across the two sites each with dedicated CT-Simulators. We have Eclipse for treatment planning with RapidArc VMAT, IGRT, vDIBH and SABR Lung in routine use. This is an exciting time to join our team as we embark on a programme of SABR expansion and further expand the use of Eclipse as our principle Treatment Planning System.

We would consider flexible working with the expectation of supporting the working hours of service.
As Clinical Specialist in Treatment Planning you will lead in the day-to-day organisation of workflow through Mould Room, CT and Planning sections: ensuring in a timely manner the production of complex treatment plans including VMAT planning, organs-at-risk outlining and Mould Room assistance. You will become an active member of the Cancer Performance team ensuring cancer targets are achieved.
Depending on your own particular skills and interests and the future requirements of the service we will actively encourage and support you to develop your role through postgraduate training and role extension. We support leadership development through Trust-established programmes.
