A Vacancy at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
This post offers a unique opportunity to play a key role in the Radiotherapy service at UCLH at an exciting period of its development. The postholder will play a key role in providing a good service to patients. They will be responsible for checking patients in for their appointment, updating them on any delays and outcoming appointments. They will also be responsible for booking interpreters and transport when required.
The department sees about 2000 new patients and administers over 3000 new courses of radiotherapy treatment per year. There are 26 NHS clinical oncologists covering all cancer specialties. The department delivers radiotherapy services for a broad spectrum of cancers which include a wide range of common cancers as well as specialist treatments including a paediatric and adolescent workload, brachytherapy and isotope work, total body irradiation and sarcoma radiotherapy. Many of the patients will be coming in daily for a five-to-six-week period, so they will be able to get to know them, and help them feel at ease within the department. The successful applicant will therefore need to have good communication and customer service skills. This position will also have a strong focus on delivering an excellent patient experience.
Please note that due to a high volume of applications received, this vacancy will now close on 29.3.2026 23:59. You are advised to immediately submit your application.
In this vital front‑of‑house role, you will provide high‑quality administrative and reception support within the Radiotherapy (RT) department, ensuring every patient and their family receives a warm, professional and compassionate service. You will be the first point of contact for those attending treatment, greeting patients courteously, supporting them with check‑in procedures, and helping them feel comfortable and informed throughout their visit.
You will play a key part in maintaining smooth departmental operations—managing patient arrivals on EPIC and ARIA systems, keeping waiting areas organised, coordinating appointments, and communicating effectively with radiographers, nurses, medical staff and the wider multidisciplinary team. Your role will also involve responding to enquiries, offering non‑clinical advice, supporting patients with local information and transport queries, and ensuring any concerns are directed appropriately.
Alongside these patient‑facing responsibilities, you will carry out a range of administrative tasks including telephone handling, stock management, processing post and deliveries, and maintaining departmental resources. You will uphold confidentiality at all times and contribute to a positive team environment, including assisting with the training of new staff and students.
