You will need to be a clear communicator, organised and flexible because you will be providing expert radiation physics advice and services to a multiplicity of users  across a number of organisations - all with competing priorities.

You will specialise in non-ionising radiation and diagnostic radiology but you will also be supported to qualify as an RPA if this is something you would like to do.

We encourage applicants with less experience to apply as training may be provided, subject to an amended job description and banding.

You will join a  friendly, supportive, multi-disciplinary team of scientific, clinical and technical experts working across the Trust and with other healthcare organisations to provide a comprehensive radiation physics service.

We are accredited as a workplace provider for HSST and would  welcome applicants interested in joining this program.
