Trosolwg o'r swydd
Due to the retire of our post holders we have two full-time positions available, cross-site at our Canterbury and Maidstone sites, to lead as technical experts in the field of Radiotherapy Planning and to manage the day to day workflow through the section.
So are you an experienced, enthusiastic and motivated Treatment Planner/Dosimetrist looking for a new challenge? If so get in contact!
Kent Oncology Centre currently has nine Varian linear accelerators across the two sites each with dedicated CT-Simulators. We have Eclipse for treatment planning with RapidArc VMAT, IGRT, vDIBH and SABR Lung in routine use. This is an exciting time to join our team as we embark on a programme of SABR expansion and further expand the use of Eclipse as our principle Treatment Planning System. We have recently commissioned a Philips BigBore RT CT and our first Halcyon unit is about to become clinical.
We would consider flexible working with the expectation of supporting the working hours of service.
