An opportunity has arisen for a Band 8A vacancy for a Clinical Scientist to join the evolving Radiotherapy Physics Team at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust, Medical Physics Department.
You will be joining an enthusiastic, dedicated and friendly team focused on improving patient-centred care and would be expected to work in all aspects of Radiotherapy Physics.
We are looking for someone who has or is close to gaining Medical Physics Expert certification. Candidates should be HCPC registered and have several years of experience working at Band 7 level or equivalent.
You will provide specialist advice as Medical Physics Expert for the purposes of the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2000 (IRMER) to the multidisciplinary team.

Long term future plans will involve preparing for a back to back Linac commissioning program in 2027.
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 & Nodal Treatments which are expected to start in early 2024.
In Dosimetry and QA, modern trend analysis through QATrack is under commission along with upgrading to the latest version of Radcalc software for secondary MU check and for Transit EPID analysis.
The Medical Physics department in Torbay is a newly accredited training centre, and there are strong links with the neighbouring department at the Royal Devon University Trust Hospital. The group in which you will work actively supports the need for continuing professional development.
