Summary
We are looking for a Clinical Scientist who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.
You will join a dedicated, multi-professional team who share one vision – we put our patients at the heart of the outstanding care we provide and who can help provide scientific and clinical support to our comprehensive service.
The Nuclear Medicine Department, part of the Radiation Services group at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, provides a wide range of diagnostic imaging and in-vitro investigations together with molecular radiotherapies including I-131, Ra-223 and Lu-177 PSMA. In addition to the clinical service at the Cancer Centre, we provide scientific, technical and radiation protection advice and support to nuclear medicine services at other NHS Trusts.
Our Values are Include, Respect and Improve. It is important that you understand and refer to our values during your recruitment process and beyond!
Interviews for this position will be held in person ONLY at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. Remote interviews will not be available.
You will be expected to participate in the delivery of the clinical nuclear medicine diagnostic and therapy service providing scientific and technical support. Following a period of training you will administer oral radionuclide therapies for patients with benign and malignant thyroid disease and support technologists/radiographers to deliver other therapies.
You will work closely with the Lead Clinical Scientists and Lead Practitioner to develop SPECT/CT image processing and analysis protocols, including dosimetry for molecular radiotherapies.
Working under the guidance and supervision of the MPE’s you will provide nuclear medicine physics support to other hospitals, and you will be expected to travel to these hospitals as required.
At East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general & specialist services we provide & our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible & innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.
We run the following hospitals:
• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford
• Mount Vernon Cancer Centre (MVCC), Northwood
We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation; our staff & patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.
We understand that finding and starting a new job is an important life decision. If you need reasonable adjustments for a disability, or a life event, such as menopause - so that we can consider your application fairly & to get the best out of you during the selection process, please let us know.
We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. Employees are entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns & we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made & considered formally, & will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
ENHT is seeking to maintain and expand the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre staff as we move to an exciting new future.
We welcome applications from those who would relish the opportunity to be part of new and developing cancer service, building on the excellent reputation, research and patient experience the Cancer Centre already delivers.
You will receive a High Cost Area Supplement of 15% of your basic salary, subject to a minimum payment of £4,552 and a maximum payment of £5,735 per annum pro rata.
