Trosolwg o'r swydd
We are seeking a full-time Band 6 Medical Physics Technologist to provide maternity leave cover for 12 months in the Nuclear Medicine Section of the Medical Physics Department at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
You will join our large team of dynamic and friendly Medical Physicists and technologists who provide scientific support to the Royal Surrey County Hospital, five regional Nuclear Medicine Departments and a number of private clients. At the Royal Surrey the Physics team supports three SPECT/CT gamma cameras (including one digital CZT system), as well as running a comprehensive Molecular Radiotherapy service (including I-131 for benign and malignant thyroid disease, Y-90 SIRT, Y-90 synovectomy, Lu-177 DOTATATE, Ra-223 Xofigo and Lu-177 PSMA). We act as MPEs for the privately-run local PET/CT unit, which houses a new “digital” PET/CT system. Through our external contracts, we support a number of other SPECT/CT and PET/CT scanning services, as well as cutting-edge private molecular radiotherapy services.
You will be knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Nuclear Medicine, have a flexible approach to your duties and the ability to work both as part of the team as well as independently in a busy clinical environment.
