Job Summary

This contract is for local float coverage of two different clinical sites in the Wilmington, NC Coastal Region. The primary site has 3 Varian linacs and one CT sim. The sister site is approximately a 30-minute drive away (north end of Wilmington) and has one Varian True Beam as well as a Siemens CT simulator. Pending volumes and coverage needs, the traveler would float between these offices. The traveler will NOT be expected to cut blocks, perform CT sims alone, or perform dose calculations. There are always an MD and an RN on-site throughout the day. Additionally, there will be opportunities for the traveler to opt for 4x10-hour shifts if desired (but not required). Therapists do not work alone, so the traveler would always be paired with at least one other therapist. No dimensions or orientation are needed for this role - the traveler will start directly in the clinic.
