Senior Radiotherapy Physicist | Royal NHS Foundation Trust

Overview

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Radiotherapy Physics department at the North Middlesex Hospital site in North London. You will be a Senior Radiotherapy Physicist at Band 8A, responsible for the safe delivery and development of Radiotherapy. You will act as a Medical Physics Expert under IR(ME)
R, providing expert advice to the Radiotherapy department and to members of the Radiotherapy Physics team.

The department provides a comprehensive physics service to support the delivery of radiotherapy treatment at North Middlesex Hospital. This includes all treatment planning, machine quality assurance and the provision of molecular radiotherapy. The department consists of 10 clinical scientists, including this post, 6 dosimetrists and 6 engineering and technical staff. The Radiotherapy department has a mix of Varian True Beam and Halcyon Linacs and an XStrahl superficial unit.

Varian Eclipse is used for all treatment planning activities, and we have ongoing projects to implement and expand knowledge based planning, AI auto-contouring, scripting and automation, and lots more besides.

The senior physicist's role is to ensure the safe delivery of the Radiotherapy Physics Service at North Middlesex University Hospital, assisting the Head of the service as well as other designated Medical Physics Experts (MPE) in their various areas of responsibility. The role is autonomous and the post-holder is expected to carry out their duties without supervision.

The senior physicist will have MPE responsibility in the safe delivery and development of the following areas:
Treatment Planning, Quality Assurance and Molecular Radiotherapy.

North Mid is part of North Central London integrated care system – consisting of the NHS and Local authority organisations in Camden, Islington, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. As with other ICS's, we are working increasingly closely with partners and many of our financial and performance objectives are measured at this system level.

We are proud of our staff and want to ensure their training allows them to provide excellent clinical care. We are also a training unit for medical students from UCL and St George's University Grenada, and for nursing and midwifery students from Middlesex and City Universities.
