Radiation Therapist

Overview

It may sound cliché, but it is true. A career taking care of cancer patients is a calling for most all of us. It’s much more than a job. Each of us has a unique story that brought us to Compass Oncology, but those stories usually share common themes of care, compassion, and commitment. No matter the role each Compass team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients.

Compass Oncology – the Pacific Northwest’s largest privately owned cancer care group – offers a myriad of treatments and services to their patients. At our West Cancer Center our patients can receive Radiation Oncology (Rad Onc) services. Our dedicated Rad Onc team is looking for a Radiation Therapist to become their newest member. As an integral part of the Rad Onc care team, the Radiation Therapist would assist with the administration of radiation treatments to our patients.

Other duties would include assisting with scheduling, making custom molds, and aiding the Radiation Oncologists in the treatment of our patients. Apply today and join the team that makes a difference in people’s lives.
