The role includes a dedicated clinical commitment to supporting patients receiving radiotherapy for lymphoma, acting as a key point of contact and advocate to help optimise both patient experience and treatment outcomes.
In addition to your clinical responsibilities, you will lead, line manage, and professionally supervise a team of Advanced Therapeutic Radiography Review Practitioners, fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement. You will be responsible for supporting staff development, maintaining high standards of patient care, and driving service enhancements within the Treatment Review pathway.
As a member of the Radiotherapy senior management team, you will also contribute to the operational management, strategic direction, and ongoing development of the wider department. Working collaboratively with fellow section leads and senior colleagues, you will help shape service delivery, support departmental objectives, and ensure the provision of safe, effective, and patient-centred radiotherapy services.

About #CatchUpWithCancer
1 in 4 people will need radiotherapy at some point in their life. Not everyone receives the best treatment for their cancer because advanced radiotherapy techniques are currently restricted. Research shows that nearly 24,000 patients are missing out on vital radiotherapy every year. This needs to change. We are campaigning for increased funding and better organisation of radiotherapy. Support our campaign by emailing your MP - this letter will ask them to ensure that every patient gets the best radiotherapy treatment for their cancer, no matter where they live.
