Job Description
Hi Everyone,
We have 2 openings for Radiation Therapist positions.

Our Radiation Therapists are at the forefront of patient interaction, ensuring exemplary service and acting as the key communicators between patients and our health care team. Candidates are expected to be attuned to patient needs, exhibit superior communication skills, and adeptly assess and monitor patient conditions.
Professionally, the role demands a thorough understanding of radiation safety measures, oncological treatment methodologies, radiation physics, and detailed human anatomy. We seek critical thinkers who can autonomously make sound decisions grounded in professional ethics across all job functions.

Additionally, Radiation Therapists are encouraged to engage in continuous quality improvement and process optimization within the department.
Our Radiation Therapists are skilled in delivering cancer treatment using both external-beam radiation therapy, which involves a machine external to the patients body, and brachytherapy, or internal radiation therapy, where radioactive material is placed internally near cancer cells.
