Radiotherapy Physics Service Lead

The Role

You will hold overall accountability for radiotherapy physics and dosimetry services at the Leeds centre, acting as the local Medical Physics Expert (MPE) and senior escalation point. You will lead, develop and integrate the local physics and dosimetry team into the Genesis Care national physics network, ensuring safe, high quality, multi platform service delivery.

• Provide senior leadership for radiotherapy physics and dosimetry services across MR Linac and CT based linacs.
• Line manage centre based physicists and dosimetrists, supporting capability, performance and succession planning.
• Act as the senior local escalation point for complex or non standard cases.
• Own local governance, QA and compliance (including IR(ME)
  R).
• Lead the local adoption of national physics initiatives and new technologies.
• Work closely with national physics leadership, local centre leadership, radiographers and oncologists as part of the senior MDT.

This role includes a structured onboarding and advanced platform training programme to support safe mobilisation of the Leeds service. This will require regular national travel and extended periods away from home during the onboarding phase. This will be planned in advance.

• Onboarding duration: typically 6 months to full platform and network integration.
• Off site training model: block based placements at established Genesis Care centres (typically 1–2 weeks per month over the first 6 months), embedded within MR Linac and CT adaptive services.
• Travel expectation: regular national travel with overnight stays during training blocks.
• Vendor training:
  Elekta Unity MR Linac, Ray Station treatment planning (including adaptive workflows), and Elekta EVO CT adaptive systems.
• Structured platform competency training: supervised training in MR Linac physics workflows, on set adaptive processes, CT adaptive planning, and Genesis Care governance systems.
• Participation in formal competency assessment and clinical sign off prior to acting independently as centre MPE across all platforms.

This programme is mandatory and designed to ensure safe leadership of a complex, multi platform physics service from day one of clinical delivery.

• HCPC registration as a Clinical Scientist.
• Certified Medical Physics Expert (MPE) in Radiotherapy.
• Extensive post qualification experience in radiotherapy physics.
• Proven leadership and line management experience.
• Broad technical expertise across treatment planning, QA and advanced techniques.

• 26 days annual leave plus bank holidays (with buy/sell options).
• Private medical and dental cover, income protection and EAP.
• Free world class radiotherapy for you and your immediate family, if required.
• Company contributory pension scheme.
• Wellbeing support including Babylon Health and Headspace.
• Free parking at most centres.
