Join to apply for the Senior Dosimetrist role at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust.
We are looking for an experienced dosimetrist 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. You will be part of the project team for purchasing and commissioning a new treatment planning system.
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.
Your responsibilities include:
1. Providing an efficient, effective, and timely treatment planning service in accordance with departmental protocols and procedures.
2. Accurate and timely production of outlining organs at risk (or checking automated outlining) for all body sites with reference to site-specific clinical treatment protocols.
3. Conducting palliative radiotherapy pre-treatment calculations and data entry.
4. Liaising and working with treatment radiographers in problem-solving complex treatment set-ups or issues as they arise and helping produce guidance for IGRT when required.
5. Contributing to maintaining the radiotherapy BSI accreditation and ensuring that all patients receive an outstanding quality service.
We are a small department comprising two matched VERSA Elekta Linacs, Mosaiq Oncology Management System, Pinnacle Treatment Planning System (TPS), Limbus AI OAR outlining software, and Canon Aquilion CT Scanner. The department actively participates in clinical trials. Lung SABR Treatment commenced in 2021 and is expanding with plans for Bone and Nodal Treatments expected to start in early 2025.
Future plans include implementing SGRT in early 2025, upgrading our current version of Mosaiq, implementing EPIC, and commissioning a new TPS. Long-term plans will involve preparing for back-to-back Linac replacement programs.
