Job Description

As one of only five facilities in the UK offering this treatment, animals are referred to Southfields from all over England and even internationally.

Southfields aims to lead the UK veterinary profession in the delivery and development of radiation oncology. Our oncology building houses a state-of-the-art oncology centre and includes a brand new Varian Truebeam with on-board kV imaging (including 3D/4D CBCT, fluoroscopy, electron capability, RapidArc VMAT, and intensity modulated radiation therapy). We perform stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) daily. We also hold the respiratory gating package and are in the process of arranging installation of an RGSC camera and 4DCT licences to permit gated treatments. We will be one of only two veterinary centres in the world with this technology.

The successful applicant will be a key member of a small team, working with minimal supervision under the direction of senior clinical oncologists within the current team of two additional veterinary trained radiation therapists, interns, anaesthesia staff and registered veterinary nurses (RVNs).

Responsibilities

  • Deliver radiation therapy (including image guided treatments) to veterinary patients and support the development of this activity within the Southfields oncology team.
  • Manage all stages of case processing from the time of CT/MR imaging to treatment.
  • Run day to day radiation therapy service, including appropriate associated administration work.
  • Share responsibility for health and safety, quality assurance and servicing of the linear accelerator.

Qualifications

  • Excellent client care and communication skills, with the ability to participate knowledgeably in post treatment client contact and offer guidance and support to owners following their pet’s procedure.
  • Love of animals and willingness to undertake animal handling; routine interactions with patients are required.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Training will be provided where necessary. Relevant experience in veterinary radiation therapy is advantageous but not mandatory.
