Summary
We are seeking a Band 7 state-registered physicist to join our team at Peterborough City Hospital. This would be an excellent opportunity for STP or Route 2 trainees approaching the end of their training.
Our department is equipped with three Varian TrueBeam accelerators. We use the Varian Eclipse treatment planning system, with full GPU calculation capability, RapidPlan and MCO, and exploit the features of the ARIA R&V system to deliver a fully paperless clinical service.
RapidArc is utilised for all suitable clinical sites, daily online IGRT is used for most patients, and the service has implemented SABR lung and oligomet treatments, DIBH breast treatments and 4DCT scanning for lung patients. As well as providing top-class service to our patients, we are actively involved in research and development projects and national clinical trials.
As a Band 7 physicist, you will take an active role in all aspects of the radiotherapy physics service including treatment planning, plan checking, machine QA and dosimetry, commissioning work, and R&D.
Previous experience of Varian hardware and software would be advantageous, but full training and mentoring will be provided.
Pre-registration candidates may be considered depending on their current training status, for appointment at an appropriate level.
We are dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusivity within our workforce and warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, with a particular emphasis on encouraging those from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, as well as candidates from our local area.
As part of our commitment to supporting our employees we offer a range of benefits including:
• Generous annual leave entitlement starting at 27 days and increasing to 29 days after five years of service and 33 days after 10 years of service, in addition to the national Bank Holidays (pro-rata for part time staff);
• Membership of the NHS Pension Scheme:
• Flexible working opportunities;
• Enhanced hourly rates for unsociable hours e.g. night shifts, weekends, bank holidays;
• Opportunities for career development and training to help you progress in your role;
• Wellbeing support and activities to promote a healthy work environment;
• Access to our in-house physiotherapy service;
• On-site canteens offering subsidised meals;
• Subsidised staff parking (currently free);
• Free Stagecoach Bus Travel to and from work within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
We strive to create a supportive and inclusive workplace where employees feel valued and empowered to excel in their roles. Join us and become part of a team dedicated to making a positive difference in our community.
