Radiotherapy Physics Clinical Scientific Computing Technician

We are offering a rare opportunity for an enthusiastic Computing Clinical Technologist to join our Bioinformatics, Imaging and Oncology Systems group to provide Clinical IT Systems support within the Radiotherapy Department, at the Queen's Cancer Centre in Cottingham, East Yorkshire.

The department has long-standing evidence of research and collaboration, developments in equipment and clinical service, and high commitment to quality and governance; these include implementation of a new hardware cluster to support the expansion of Radiotherapy IT systems, in-house bespoke software, bioinformatics / data reporting, and the safe introduction and governance of cutting edge medical technology.

The department was the first Radiotherapy Physics service to gain UKAS accreditation to the emerging BS70000 MPACE quality standard, evidencing that commitment to delivery of high quality clinical service is a core value of the team, and we continue to maintain ISO9001 certification for the entire Radiotherapy service.

The department supports Radiotherapy which operates 8AM-8PM across Monday - Friday, and the post holder is expected to be flexible in order to support these hours where required, and be flexible to work out of hours where needed., The postholder will be part of the Radiotherapy Physics Computing & Bioinformatics Section of the Radiotherapy Physics Department and be responsible for supporting systems that underpin the delivery of Radiotherapy and Oncology, by applying generalist computer science knowledge across computing & bioinformatics (data).

The postholder will also assist in the provision of timely and effective support of medical physics and clinical engineering infrastructure and highly regulated clinical systems to ensure our end users can provide a safe quality service to our patients, under the day-to-day supervision of registered clinical technologists.

Occasionally, the postholder will also provide bioinformatics and clinical software development support under the scientific supervision of the Principal Clinical Scientist, Lead for Radiotherapy Computing & Bioinformatics.

The Humber Health Partnership is one of the largest acute and community Partnership arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.

Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Partnership has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.

As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery and oncology.

We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Partnership and our community.
