Job responsibilities

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Band 6 Therapeutic Radiographer to join the Northern Centre for Cancer Care-North Cumbria in Carlisle. This role offers the opportunity to develop specialist clinical, technical, and leadership skills within a large and innovative radiotherapy service.

The successful candidate will:

• Provide day-to-day leadership and support to a team of radiographers within their designated clinical area, ensuring the highest standards of technical practice, patient safety, and patient-centred care.
• Be accountable for the safe and accurate delivery of radiotherapy treatments within their clinical area.
• Deliver and support complex radiotherapy procedures, including localisation, image guidance, dose calculation, treatment verification, and treatment delivery.

The successful candidate will be expected to demonstrate flexibility in working patterns to meet the needs of the service.

Experience in advanced radiotherapy techniques such as VMAT, SABR, IGRT, SGRT, and adaptive radiotherapy would be advantageous, although training and development opportunities will be provided.
