The department is the host for the East Midlands radiotherapy network and has excellent transport links around the region and with the rest of the country. Being based at the Royal Infirmary site you will be within walking distance of the vibrant and historical city centre of Leicester.
We have completed our replacement programme, and have 4 TrueBeam linacs in operation and a 5th Halcyon linac. SGRT is due to be installed this year on 2 of the Truebeam linacs. We use ARIA Oncology management system, Prosoma Virtual Simulation and Varian Eclipse treatment planning systems. Our scanners are Canon and GE wide bores with 4DCT and we have a XStrahl superficial unit. The new purpose built brachytherapy suite contains the Varian Bravos brachytherapy unit.
We offer a wide range of treatments including DIBH and SABR for both primary lung and oligometastatic disease.
There is a strong focus on staff development and culture so this is an excellent opportunity to further your clinical and leadership skills for the benefit of the LLR patient population and for those patients from further afield.
As a Band 7 you will be responsible for the day to day delivery of the service ensuring the workload is managed effectively and efficiently whilst providing expert advice to patients, staff and students.

· To support the development of the Radiotherapy service by providing clinical expertise and leadership to implement evidence based practice.
Along with the other Band 7 Therapeutic Radiographers to line manage the Band 5 & 6 radiographers ensuring that all aspects of performance, attendance, training and appraisal are addressed in accordance with Trust policy.
· To lead on the development of the team and individual team members through competency based training.
· To lead on research in own area of specialism and encourage others to engage with research activities.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
