Band 5 / 6 Link Grade
We are looking for a motivated, caring, pro-active individual to join our friendly and dedicated radiotherapy team of 21 Radiographers. Applications are invited from qualified band 5 and band 6 radiographers, and any student radiographers due to qualify imminently. You will be required to be HCPC registered.
We are a small, busy department, dedicated to delivering a high quality of care and service to our patients. Our department currently houses 2 Varian Truebeams, 1 Siemens CT scanner, Mould Room facilities, Raystation planning system, and AlignRT. We have successfully developed the use of AlignRT to enable us to be a completely tattooless department. We also have a dedicated radiographer review team who look after all of our patients and link in with Aberdeen for our Neurology cases.
As we are a small team you will be expected to gain competence throughout all areas of the department, and will be given opportunities to become more involved in areas where your interests become more focussed.
