We are looking for a Radiotherapy Assistant to join a specialized clinical team involved in the preparation, coordination, and delivery of radiation treatment for patients with cancer and other relevant conditions. In this role, you will play an important part in the patient journey and help ensure that treatments are carried out safely, accurately, and with respect for each patient’s individual needs. The position requires technical awareness, empathy, and the ability to work in a structured way in an environment where quality, documentation, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential.
As a Radiotherapy Assistant, you will support radiation therapists, radiographers, nurses, physicians, and medical physicists in daily operations. You will help prepare treatment rooms, assist with patient positioning, ensure the correct use of equipment, and support administrative and practical tasks related to treatment pathways. You will also interact with patients before, during, and after treatment, making it important to communicate calmly, clearly, and professionally. Many patients are in a vulnerable situation, so your ability to create reassurance and trust will be central to success in this role.
The work takes place in a highly specialized healthcare environment with advanced technology and established procedures. For that reason, you must be able to follow instructions carefully, comply with hygiene and safety standards, and contribute actively to an efficient patient flow. You should be comfortable handling repetitive tasks with a high degree of precision while maintaining close attention to detail, as even small deviations can affect treatment quality. Experience from hospitals, diagnostic imaging, oncology, or patient-facing healthcare work is an advantage, but the most important qualities are responsibility, willingness to learn, and an interest in cancer treatment and clinical technology.
We offer a meaningful position where you will have the opportunity to make a real difference for patients and their families during an important phase of treatment. You will become part of a professional and supportive work environment where collaboration, professional development, and respect for the patient are at the center. Thorough onboarding will be provided in local workflows, equipment, and safety procedures so that you are well prepared for the role. If you enjoy combining human interaction, technical work, and clinical precision, this could be an exciting opportunity for you.
