The Royal Surrey Cancer Centre is focused on providing excellent patient pathways and patient-centred care. We strive to continuously evolve to reflect the technical advances within Radiotherapy. To that end, we have recently completed the replacement of two of our Varian TrueBeams with a Varian ETHOS and a Varian Halcyon at our satellite centre. These units are the first in the NHS for in-bore SGRT and we are scheduled to be the first Centre to implement Hypersight later this year. Surface guided radiotherapy system installation will further improve the accuracy of treatment and present the opportunity for tattoo-less radiotherapy. Our patients benefit from access to two ETHOS units, one Halcyon and four TrueBeams across our two radiotherapy centres.

We have three planning CT scanners, an exceptional Brachytherapy service which provides HDR, LDR and Papillon kV contact treatment; as well as an Xstrahl superficial machine., Key to this role will be supporting the development of treatment services (External beam and Brachytherapy), integrating them with the wider cancer centre on all geographical sites.

You will work closely with the Lead Radiographers, clinicians and support staff to ensure that patients received high quality care. You will ensure that the specialist commissioned service is maintained, following the national guidelines of preparation, delivery and data collection.
