NHS Scotland is committed to encouraging equality and diversity among our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. The aim is for our workforce to be truly representative and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best. To this end, NHS Scotland welcomes applications from all sections of society.

We are looking for a highly motivated, caring, pro-active individual to join our friendly and dedicated radiotherapy team of 24 Radiographers. Applications are invited from qualified band 5 and band 6 radiographers, and any student radiographers due to qualify imminently.

You will be required to be HCPC registered.

We are a small, busy department, dedicated to delivering a high quality of care and service to our patients. Our department currently houses 2 Varian Truebeams, 1 Siemens CT scanner, Mould Room facilities, Raystation planning system, and AlignRT. We have successfully developed the use of SGRT to enable us to be a completely tattoo-less department. In addition to this we are often the first to be able to implement new developments due to the benefits that come with working in a small collaborative team. With several anticipated projects on the horizon this makes it an extremely exciting time to join us.

As we are a small team you will be expected to gain competence throughout all areas of the department, and will be given opportunities to become more involved in areas where your interests become more focussed.

The department of clinical Oncology provides non-surgical cancer treatment to a population of approximately 260,000, covering Highland, the Western Isles and part of Grampian Health Board areas. It is one of 5 cancer centres in Scotland. The department currently treats around 700 new patients per annum. We cover all sites and techniques, currently expanding our use of

SABR and developing our IGRT.

The unit provides clinical placements for therapy students from QMU in Edinburgh and GCU in Glasgow. Participating in their training is a requirement.

The Highlands offer an excellent quality of life. It is an area of outstanding natural beauty offering a range of leisure and sporting opportunities throughout the year. Inverness is compact but has all the amenities of a modern city, including well-established road, rail and air transport links.
