Technologist

The Gig

Saint Luke's North Hospital in Kansas City, MO needs a Radiation Therapist for their Radiation Oncology team. You'd work Monday through Friday, roughly 7:30am to 4:00pm (those times can shift a little), and you'd rotate call with the other therapists. No holidays, which is a solid perk.

And yeah, compensation packages have been bumped up recently, so that's worth noting.

What You'd Actually Do

• Perform radiotherapy treatments and simulations under the radiation oncologist's direction and the manager's supervision. This is technical work that doesn't need a lot of hand holding.
• Help develop new techniques and processes for simulations, treatments, new equipment, and new devices.
• Review each physician's treatment prescription and setup instructions, then deliver daily radiation therapy. You'd also schedule patients and keep their EMR accurate.
• Use imaging tech specifically for simulation, treatment planning, and treatment delivery ; think weekly ports, CBCT, and IGRT.
• Know the equipment and techniques for special procedures like SRS/SRT and Deep Inspiration Breath Hold, following department processes.
• Run daily warm up procedures on the simulators and linear accelerators.
• Stay current with continuing ed, the department's quality assurance program, and your licensure and accreditation.
• Show up to department meetings, help coworkers when you've got free time, and keep a flexible, positive attitude when things shift around.
• Follow all department safety policies and procedures.
• Provide compassion and emotional support to patients and their families. Keep a positive attitude with everyone.

What You Need

• Less than 1 year of experience is fine ; they're open to newer grads.
• An Associate Degree.
• Radiation Therapy certification from ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists).
• Basic Life Support certification from the American Heart Association or Red Cross.

Schedule & Type

This is a full time, day shift position.

Benefits

They offer medical health plans, tuition reimbursement, leave of absence options, PTO, and various welfare plans. There's also an Employee Assistance Program and retirement contributions. And they have a Career Advancement Program if you want to grow your skills and move up.
