We have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly, forward-thinking department at the North Middlesex Hospital site in North Londonas a Band 7 Radiotherapy Physicist.
The department provides a comprehensive physics service to support the delivery of radiotherapy treatment atNorth Middlesex Hospital. This includes all treatment planning, machine quality assurance and the provision of molecular radiotherapy. The department consists of 9 clinical scientists, including this post, 6 dosimetrists and 4 engineering and technical staff.
The Radiotherapy department has a mix of Varian TrueBeam and Halcyon Linacs and an XStrahl superficial unit. One of our TrueBeams is to be replaced later this year, so there will lots of scope to get involved in commissioning of cutting-edge equipment. Varian Eclipse is used for all treatment planning activities, and we have ongoing projects to implement and expand knowledge based planning, AI auto-contouring, scripting and automation, and lots more besides.
Flexible working is supported across the Trust and the team continue to enjoy a hybrid pattern of on-site and working from home.
This would suit candidates who have recently completed their STP training and gained HCPC registration, although those due to complete soon are also encouraged to apply.
The post holder will participate in the general Radiotherapy Physics service provision to theNorth Middlesex Hospital site. The post holder may be required to specialise in one or more sections within the Radiotherapy Physics service.
The physicist’s role is to ensure the safe delivery of the Radiotherapy Physics service assisting the Head of the service as well as the designated Medical Physics Experts in their various areas of responsibility.
The post holder will be responsible to the Deputy Head of Radiotherapy Physics and to the Principal Physicists when working in their specific areas.
The post holder will also be expected to work closely with Radiotherapy Radiographers, Clinical Oncologists and Specialist Radiotherapy Registrars.
North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS’s, we are working increasingly closely with partners and indeed many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level. Whilst all organisations remain as standalone, statutory bodies we have an ICS infrastructure for making shared decisions and agreeing shared approaches.
We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George’s University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
