NHS Jobs and vacancies
NHS Jobs is the obvious place to start, but it is not the whole market. Medical physics roles can also appear on professional boards, private oncology providers, university job sites, research centres and manufacturer career pages.
Use this page as a search routine, not a single job board. A good weekly check covers clinical NHS roles, STP information, academic/research posts, private radiotherapy employers and manufacturers. The words used in adverts vary a lot, so search by specialism as well as by “medical physicist”.

Core places to check
NHS Jobs
Best for NHS clinical scientist, trainee, technologist, dosimetry and department roles in England and Wales.
HealthJobsUK / Trac
Useful because many trusts use Trac, and the Medical Physics category can surface posts that keyword searches miss.
IPEM jobs
The professional body jobs page is worth checking for Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering roles and sector context.
NSHCS STP
For graduate training, go back to the official Scientist Training Programme information rather than relying on old forum dates.

Beyond NHS adverts
Private oncology providers
Providers such as GenesisCare and HCA UK advertise radiotherapy physics, dosimetry and nuclear medicine roles that may not look like standard NHS posts.
Universities and research centres
MRI, PET, radiotherapy, image analysis and clinical research posts often sit on university job boards or jobs.ac.uk.
Manufacturers
Imaging and radiotherapy companies can recruit physicists into applications, research, product, QA, service and clinical-science roles.
How to read an advert
Do not apply only because the title sounds right. Read the person specification carefully and ask what the post is really testing.
- Registration: does it require HCPC registration, STP completion or equivalence?
- Specialism: is it radiotherapy, imaging, nuclear medicine, radiation protection, MRI or a mixed department?
- Level: is it a trainee, Band 5/6 technologist, Band 7 scientist, principal, consultant or head-of-service post?
- Evidence: what examples will prove you meet the essential criteria?
- Practicalities: check driving, multi-site cover, on-call, visa sponsorship, closing date and interview format.
