The Royal Surrey Cancer Centre Radiotherapy Department is based at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford and has a satellite service based at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill. This post is based at East Surrey Hospital but will include working at both sites.

We have three planning CT scanners, an exceptional Brachytherapy service which provides HDR, LDR and Papillon kV contact treatment; as well as an Xstrahl superficial machine.

Our main site is based at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford and our satellite centre at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill.  Guildford gives easy access to the beautiful North & South Downs, is an hour from the coast and has great transport links to the surrounding counties of Berkshire, Hampshire and Sussex.   The city offers cultural diversity, is home to the University of Surrey and it is great place to reside and explore.

Our satellite centre in Redhill is closely integrated with our main site. Situated within easy access to London, and surrounded by beautiful Surrey countryside. It offers you the opportunity to work in a smaller team and broaden your clinical skills with the chance to follow a patient throughout their treatment pathway. This is an excellent opportunity for CPD, which is not always achievable in larger departments and establishments. 

Your wellbeing is important to us, and as such, we offer clinical staff a 9-day fortnight working pattern giving you the opportunity to have a fixed day off every two weeks. You will, no matter what your grade banding, be empowered to learn, grow and progress your career.  We offer a variety of CPD opportunities and have strong links with Macmillan giving us access to valuable learning to ensure that our staff are the best that they can be.  

The post could be based at either of our sites and both permanent and fixed term contract opportunities are available.

We look forward to meeting with should you feel that you would like to become part of our Royal Surrey Cancer Centre team.
