Nottingham, United Kingdom Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

**Job overview**:
The post holder is a member of the Radiotherapy Engineering team (a sub-section of the Radiotherapy Physics department) which provides engineering support to Oncology and Radiotherapy Physics. The Radiotherapy Engineering section provides linear accelerator engineering services on behalf of Radiotherapy Physics in the Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering Department. Linear accelerators (linacs) are highly complex radiotherapy treatment units (capital value >£1.5million) and require many safety critical maintenance procedures to ensure dose accuracy and safety.

**Main duties of the job**:
In addition to the below summary, you need to familiarise yourself with the full Job Description and Personal Specification documents attached to this advert.

The primary role of the team is to provide highly specialist, patient-focussed support and immediate response for the Radiotherapy and Radiotherapy Physics services in the form of pre-treatment maintenance, diagnostic testing, and decisions about the clinical status of the Radiotherapy department’s linacs on a daily basis. The team carries out preventative maintenance tasks, calibration of patient critical equipment parameters, safety testing, and prompt fault diagnosis and repair on a wide range of highly complex and patient critical therapeutic and associated ancillary equipment with the aim of minimising downtime. The linacs are very busy (~ 40 patient appointments per linac per day), and machine breakdowns have an immediate impact on patient treatments and compliance with cancer waiting time targets.

The post holder will have specific responsibility and act as an expert for the linear accelerator IT systems and will take the lead role in this field.

**Working for our organisation**:
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust provides radiotherapy treatments for Nottingham using 6 Elekta linacs. It also provides highly specialist radiotherapy (SRS, paediatric radiotherapy) for the East Midlands. SABR is a standard therapy available. The department has an active major equipment programme to ensure the most up tp date equipment is available for our patients.

**Detailed job description and main responsibilities**:
**KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES**:**Clinical Technical**

Provide specialised clinical-technical services to Oncology and Radiotherapy Physics.
- Start-up linear accelerators and perform daily pre-clinical maintenance to determine the clinical status and ensure the safe and effective operation within manufacturers tolerances and clinically defined parameters.
- Interpret complex treatment machine parameters, to identify possible deterioration of specific components, predict useful life remaining and be proactive in the acquisition of replacement items prior to machine failure.

Communicate with treatment radiographers, clinical scientist and clinical staff to gain a clear understanding of any problematic equipment symptoms. Use initiative and sound judgment to assess the seriousness and implications of any problems, and dictate the clinical status of the equipment accordingly.
- Perform immediate rectification tasks where possible, to allow the continuation of interrupted patient treatment. Consult with treatment radiographers where patient contact is imminent in order to ensure the privacy and modesty of patients is protected.
- Perform scheduled quality assurance checks and calibrations on treatment machines, to ensure the correct operation of primary and secondary electronic, mechanical and software driven safety devices.

Organise and participate in routine maintenance procedures and schedules for a wide range of highly complex patient-critical equipment.

Participate in a shift pattern to provide pre-treatment maintenance on the weekends for patients undergoing intensive radiotherapy treatment, including on-call breakdown cover for evening weekends and bank holidays, plus weekend on-call breakdown cover for all other emergency radiotherapy patients.
- Responsible for maintaining the integrity of protection systems for radiation controlled areas.
- Responsible as an IR(ME)R operator.
- Perform safety-related checks and implement performance-enhancing modifications to treatment equipment, in accordance with manufacturers’ directives and instructions.

Provide support on the maintenance and repair of the complete range of radiotherapy and radiation dosimetry/monitoring equipment.
