Radiology - Radiation Therapist

Radiation Therapist

We are seeking a dedicated and skilled radiation therapist to join our healthcare team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for administering radiation treatments to patients as prescribed by physicians. Ensuring the highest standards of care and safety is essential. The radiation therapist will work closely with medical professionals to follow patient's treatment plans. The radiation oncology program is accredited by a national organization.

The department is equipped with three linear accelerators, a CT simulator, and a high dose rate brachytherapy unit. We provide care to cancer patients of all ages who will benefit from radiation therapy. Nearly half of all patients treated have breast, lung, or prostate cancer as their primary diagnosis. The majority of radiation therapy patients are ambulatory and self-supportive. We also treat many inpatients who require intensive monitoring and services.

Sedation and analgesia care is provided as needed. The scope of care includes external beam radiation, low and high dose rate brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and total body irradiation. Essential physical demands include standing, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, and lifting usual weights of 5 to 25 pounds. Continuous duties include carrying weights of up to 5 pounds. Frequent tasks involve stooping, bending, and gripping objects for prolonged periods.

Clinical operations involve the use of linear accelerators, simulators, computers, calculators, and blood irradiators. The work environment is very fast-paced with exposure to radiation, body fluids, communicable diseases, and mechanical/electrical units. We are an equal opportunity employer. Our mission is to provide quality health care services that improve the well-being of all individuals. Compassion, respect, and excellence guide our actions.
