We are looking for an experienced dosimetrist / treatment planner to join our friendly multi-professional radiotherapy team at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust. Torbay delivers a range of techniques, including Lung SABR and is actively engaged in research with both commercial and non-commercial trials.
We are seeking someone who is enthusiastic and experienced in treatment planning and the introduction of new techniques, clinical trials, and paper light workflows. We have an exciting few years ahead of us in purchasing and commissioning a new treatment planning system, of which you will be part of the project team.
You will be joining our caring, committed, and innovative team in beautiful South Devon. We value creativity, inclusivity, and work-life balance. Share our vision, and you’ll thrive here, surrounded by nature and opportunity.
Responsibilities
* You will be expected to provide an efficient, effective, and timely treatment planning service in accordance with the departmental protocols and procedures.
* You will be responsible for the accurate and timely production of outlining organs at risk (or checking automated outlining) for all body sites and full understanding of organ at risk doses for all body sites with reference to the site-specific clinical treatment protocols.
* You will be responsible for the palliative radiotherapy pre-treatment calculations and data entry.
* You will also liaise and work with the treatment radiographers in problem-solving complex treatment set-ups or issues as they arise and help produce guidance for IGRT when required.
* You will be supported with ongoing professional development and in maintaining your own portfolio of practice. The post holder will also contribute to maintaining the radiotherapy BSI accreditation and ensure that all patients receive an outstanding quality service.
Why Work With Us
We are a small department comprising of two matched VERSA Elekta Linacs, Mosaiq Oncology Management System, Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS), Limbus AI OAR outlining software, and Canon Aquilion CT Scanner which was installed early 2024. The department actively participates in clinical trials. Lung SABR Treatment commenced in 2021 and is expanding such that we are in the process of commissioning Bone and Nodal Treatments which are expected to start in early 2025.
We have exciting future plans which involve implementing SGRT early 2025, upgrading our current version of Mosaiq, implementation of EPIC, and the commissioning of a new TPS. Long-term plans will involve preparing for back-to-back Linac replacement programs.
