Corporate jobs in United Kingdom

Go back Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust

The closing date is 11 January 2026

We are looking for someone to join our Radiotherapy Physics team as a Band 7 Radiotherapy Physicist.

The Oncology department is a well‑equipped centre treating patients from across East London and Essex, committed to introducing the latest treatment techniques and equipment. External beam radiotherapy is delivered on Varian Halcyon, Edge, and Ethos Therapy linacs. The Edge is our stereotactic machine, with HDMLC, 4D‑CBCT, 6 DoF couch, and HyperArc‑enabled. Aria is cloud‑based, hosted by Varian. Treatment planning is done on Eclipse 17 (with RapidPlan and MCO licences) and in Ethos v2, with auto‑contouring on Limbus. The department fully supports a wide range of clinical trials, and has an excellent selection of QA devices and software. We have a new Siemens go.Sim CT scanner; within the last two years we have introduced HyperSight on Ethos and Identify SGRT on all linacs. Our current commissioned SABR treatments are lung, bone (non‑spine), nodes, adrenal nodes, and spine, and we have recently started providing an intra‑cranial SRS service in partnership with Barts Health. We have collaborations and co‑operations with radiotherapy equipment vendors for reference site visits, training, beta testing and product development. A full linac refresh is due in 2027. STP trainees in their last year of training are encouraged to apply.

Involved in all aspects of providing a safe and effective Radiotherapy Physics service, including treatment planning, equipment quality control, dosimetry, imaging, quality assurance systems and information systems.

We're an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and our patients are happy with. They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission. We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We're campaigning to secure the £35 m we need to transform the A&E at Queen's and get rid of corridor care. We're proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We're also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance. We run a Women's Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries – live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We're proud to be a London Living Wage employer. Some of the positive changes we've made are captured in this film.
