We are looking for an enthusiastic physicist with experience in Radiotherapy Physics to join the Physics and Engineering team at the Chelsea branch of the Hospital, in a permanent position. Applicants should have a good honours degree in physics or a closely related discipline, plus an MSc relevant to Radiotherapy physics.
The role includes treatment planning , QA, dosimetry , brachytherapy and some computing in RT . Participation in innovative project work is also encouraged.
The Radiotherapy Department at Chelsea has 4 Varian Truebeams providing VMAT, SRS, SABR, CBCT and fff delivery. Additional equipment includes HDR BRachytherapy. A Cyberknife radiosurgery unit is in clinical use. External beam treatment planning systems include Eclipse,Brachyvision, Raystation, Multiplan, Oncentra and BrainLab. 4D CT acquisition is applied for lung and liver imaging. HDR for gynaecological malignancies (using IGBT) and Iodine seed brachytherapy are also performed.
• The post holder’s primary responsibilities at 8A level are for supporting the department’s Brachytherapy , Quality Assurance and Treatment planning programs
• The post holder also has scientific and training responsibilities for providing support to all aspects of the specialist clinical, scientific and technical service provided by the Radiotherapy Physics group at RMH.
• The post holder will be expected to give expert advice and judgment on resolving problems with treatment plans , brachytherapy , quality assurance as well technical aspects of radiation physics, treatment planning and dosimetry to different staffing groups in the department.
• When working outside this area of specific responsibilities, the post holder will be participating in and supervising day-to-day duties carried out by assigned staff on the duty rota for planning, QA and dosimetry.
• The postholder will act as/ be working towards the role of Medical Physics Expert as defined by the ionising radiation regulations with particular respect to Brachytherapy in Radiotherapy Physics
The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust is a world-leading cancer centre. Our role is to offer our patients the best cancer care available anywhere in the world, and to continue to make a global contribution to finding better ways of diagnosing and treating cancer. We employ over 4,500 staff in a diverse range of careers including nursing, medical, science, radiography, pharmacy, occupational therapy, finance and administrative services. We have two hospitals – one in Chelsea, London, and one in Sutton, Surrey – as well as a Medical Daycare Unit in Kingston Hospital.
At The Royal Marsden, we deal with cancer every day, so we understand how valuable life is. When people entrust their lives to us, they have the right to demand the very best. That's why the pursuit of excellence lies at the heart of everything we do.

• Produce and check complex treatment plans. Carry out associated dosimetry calculations in accordance with clinical prescriptions and agreed procedures. Analyse requirements and make complex judgments regarding treatment parameters and patient dose effects to produce the required dose distribution over the treatment volume, using computerised planning systems as appropriate.
• Advise clinical staff on the effects of various treatment plan options on patient dose distributions, including brachytherapy . Discuss and agree approaches with clinical staff to create optimum treatment strategies and workflows. Provide expert advice at multidisciplinary clinical audit meetings, when required.
• Attend clinical audit, MDT and similar review meetings, as required.
• Replan patient treatments where required, following a treatment error or changes in patient shape. Use judgment to analyse and determine the most appropriate compensation method. Calculate the compensation required and subsequent patient dose. Carry out manual dose calculations.
• Perform and advise on dosimetry measurements on patients, as well as quality assurance and dosimetry in general. Provide complex advice to clinical staff and support developments in treatment planning and Brachytherapy
• Develop clinical and scientific procedures and protocols under the Department’s Quality System. Consult with Radiotherapy where changes impact on their systems. Take part in working parties to agree changes to protocols affecting both Radiotherapy physics and radiotherapy.
• Investigate multi-modality imaging, image manipulation and structure outlining developments, thoroughly investigating and testing new developments in this area and reporting back to users and the system manufacturers, as appropriate. Further the integration of the use of different imaging modalities (e.g., CT, MR and PET scanning) for treatment verification and treatment review purposes.
• Participate in the installation and commissioning of new radiotherapy equipment, including preparation of protocols, particularly relating to brachytherapy
• To train clinical physics colleagues and trainees in the routine use of any clinical techniques developed as a result of work performed.
