The Oxford Cancer Centre offers the perfect opportunity to work within a dynamic team dedicated to delivering holistic care for patients referred for radiotherapy. You will be a key member of this team, based mainly at Milton Keynes University Hospital, but coming to Oxford Cancer Centre at the Churchill Hospital at least day a week. The nature of the role means we are looking for a Therapeutic Radiographer with a broad range of clinical experience using advanced radiotherapy techniques who can work autonomously, prioritizing their time to ensure all aspects of the job role are met.

Initially the satellite will have a CT Simulator and Linac. A second bunker has been built to accommodate expansion of the service in the future.

Main duties of the jobWe are seeking an experienced, enthusiastic and motivated Therapeutic Radiographer to work with OUH colleagues alongside the friendly oncology team at Milton Keynes as an expert resource for radiotherapy specific patient information and support. You will additionally help patients access all holistic care, referring appropriately to additional specialist support and will carry out treatment reviews.
