About the role 

As Deputy Chief Radiation Therapist, you will lead and coordinate the daily operations of the Radiation Therapy team.

These technologies create opportunities for professional development within our team, clinical advancement, and service improvement.

We offer flexible work arrangements, including full-time hours condensed into a 4-day week or a 9-day fortnight, to support a healthy work-life balance.

Lismore is just 30 minutes from the beautiful coastlines of Byron Bay and Ballina and within easy reach of charming hinterland towns such as Bangalow, Alstonville, and Mullumbimby. The Gold Coast is a one-hour drive north, with easy access to Brisbane.
