Description
As a subject expert in your own right, you will play a major role in the CMPE RPA Body (recognised by the Health and Safety Executive under the requirements of IRR17), providing radiation protection advice to diagnostic and interventional radiology/cardiology departments, nuclear medicine and dental practitioners. You will act as a Radioactive Waste Adviser.
Nuclear Medicine work involves imaging, therapy, PET/CT and surgical uses of radioactive materials.
A detailed knowledge of the regulations and practical experience of radiation is essential. You will be expected to provide in-depth expertise and develop and implement improved ways of working. You will initiate and undertake projects in line with the group priorities.
Line management and contributing to group management is also a key part of the role. Teaching is a regular part of the role.
A current Full UK driving licence is essential as frequent travel is necessary in this role.
We welcome external applicants. Those who do not meet the full person spec may be appointed at a lower band with a development plan. Those with neither RPA nor RWA, will not be invited to interview. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Candidates with experience delivering RPA support to radiotherapy would be welcomed as the group grows support to The Christie radiotherapy centres.
We are the Diagnostic Radiology and Radiation Protection Section of the Imaging Physics and Radiation Protection Group within CMPE, based at The Christie in Manchester. We deliver scientific support to clinical radiology departments in the North West of England. You will also work with the CMPE regional Nuclear Medicine team.
Professional activities are supported and encouraged.
Manchester is a hub for sport, music and culture as well as a friendly, vibrant city. The Christie is located 4 miles to the south of the City, in close proximity to Didsbury and Chorlton where there are many independent shops, restaurants and bars. There are a number of National Parks nearby and, for travelling further afield, Manchester International Airport (with flights to over 200 destinations) is minutes away while London is only 2 hours by train.
Due to the large regional service in the North West and formation of Imaging Networks, although the post is based at The Christie in Manchester, there may be scope to be based at another NHS Trust within the Greater Manchester or Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Systems.
The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 60,000 patients a year. We are based in Manchester and serve a population of 3.2 million across Greater Manchester & Cheshire, but as a national specialist around 15% patients are referred to us from other parts of the country.
We provide radiotherapy through one of the largest radiotherapy departments in the world; chemotherapy on site and through 14 other hospitals; highly specialist surgery for complex and rare cancer; and a wide range of support and diagnostic services. We are also an international leader in research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years.
We run one of the largest early clinical trial units in Europe with over 300 trials every year. Cancer research in Manchester, most of which is undertaken on the Christie site, has been officially ranked the best in the UK.
