The Imaging Physics & Radiation Protection group within Christie Medical Physics & Engineering are seeking an experienced Clinical Scientist with MPE and/or RPA qualifications to join our growing team of ~30 scientists, technologists and administrators. We deliver scientific support to NHS and independent sector clinical radiology departments in the North West of England.
You will be involved in the CMPE RPA body (recognised by the Health and Safety Executive as an RPA body under the requirements of IRR17), providing radiation protection advice to diagnostic and interventional radiology/cardiology departments and dental practitioners. You will be the primary radiation protection contact for specified organisations. In addition, as Medical Physics Expert you will provide support for the optimisation of diagnostic and interventional radiology, developing and maintaining a close working relationship with the radiographic and clinical teams in these organisations.
Applicants should be patient focused and flexible to change where quality can be improved.
Candidates with experience delivering MPE (imaging) and RPA support to radiotherapy would be welcomed as the group grows support to The Christie radiotherapy centres.
Suitable, experienced applicants without MPE or RPA qualifications will be considered for appointment at band 7.
A large part of the role is leading on RPA and MPE advice to particular imaging organisations, ensuring they have the information necessary to comply with IRR17 and IRMER17. A detailed knowledge of the regulations and imaging equipment is essential to support these activities.
You will take the lead in an area of the group’s work, focusing on equipment performance or another element of radiation protection, dependent on your past experience and the group’s needs. We would welcome someone with experience in mammography, dental or CT but have many opportunities. You will learn the CMPE way of working using the quality management system before initiating changes (due to the need to bring a large team along when changes are made). You will be expected to provide in-depth expertise and implement improved ways of working. You will initiate and undertake projects to support clinical research in line with the group priorities.
Day to day management of staff and contributing to the group service management is also a key part of the role. Teaching is a regular part of the role.
A current driving license is essential as frequent travel is necessary in this role (we have pool cars for use).
We encourage you to get in touch if you would like to informally discuss your suitability for the post.
The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.
We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.
We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Scientific support to diagnostic radiology
