Status: Permanent, full-time

Role Summary

As SABR Analytics Physicist, you will play a critical role in capturing and transforming clinical and technical data into meaningful insights that drive quality, safety, and reputation across our MR-guided and complex SABR programmes. This role sits at the intersection of clinical operations, data science, and research. Your work will underpin our ability to audit adaptive workflows, report outcomes, and maintain our position as a leader in advanced radiotherapy.

Reporting to the Service Development Principal Physicist, you will support the development of automated data pipelines and adaptive QA dashboards, and support publications that demonstrate our impact. This role includes dedicated time for technical innovation, alongside clinical involvement to remain close to the treating teams.

Key areas for the role:

Data Infrastructure and Automation

Build and maintain automated pipelines to extract, transform, and load data from treatment planning systems, Linac log files, MOSAIQ/ARIA, and imaging systems.

Develop dashboards to support adaptive QA auditing, -analysis, and dose reconstruction at a population and patient level.

Support the implementation of integrated analytics platforms into the SABR service.

Outcome Reporting and Clinical Research

Lead statistical analysis of SABR treatment data and contribute to retrospective and prospective PROM and CROM registries.

Collaborate with clinical stakeholders to deliver publishable evidence that supports internal learning, external engagement, and strategic positioning.

Support the preparation of peer-reviewed papers, conference abstracts, and outcome summaries for patient and referrer audiences.

Quality Assurance and Audit

Ensure adaptive plan audit compliance across MR-Linac and SABR platforms through robust, reproducible analytics workflows.

Provide early signal detection for error trends or deviations in practice, enhancing clinical governance and safety.

Collaboration and Engagement

Work closely with radiographers, clinicians, and service leads to embed analytics into clinical decision-making.

Support monthly audit review processes.

Contribute to training and mentoring of junior staff on the use of analytics tools.

Reporting lines:

As the SABR Analytics Lead Physicist, you report directly to the Principal Physicist for MR-Linac Service Development.

This role has no direct reports. Reporting lines and direct reports may change from time to time in line with the requirements of the role.

Your key responsibilities:

Data Infrastructure and Automation

Design, implement, and maintain automated pipelines for extracting, transforming, and analysing data from planning systems, imaging, oncology information systems, and Linac log files.

Develop and maintain adaptive QA dashboards and population-level analytics to monitor workflow performance and treatment quality.

Ensure data solutions meet governance, reproducibility, and security requirements.

Analytics and Outcome Reporting

Apply advanced statistical and computational techniques to evaluate SABR outcomes, including PROMs, CROMs, and adaptive treatment data.

Generate clear, actionable insights for clinical teams, governance processes, and strategic reporting.

Lead or contribute to the preparation of manuscripts, conference abstracts, and presentations that showcase GenesisCares SABR expertise.

Quality Assurance and Governance

Provide analytics that support adaptive plan audit compliance across MR-Linac and SABR platforms.

Detect and escalate emerging error trends or deviations in practice, ensuring timely mitigation.

Embed evidence-based feedback loops into governance processes to strengthen safety and consistency.

Collaboration and Engagement

Partner with clinicians, radiographers, physicists, and service leads to ensure analytics directly inform decision-making and service development.

Actively contribute to monthly audit reviews, multidisciplinary research meetings, and governance forums.

Mentor colleagues in the use of analytics tools and encourage data-driven ways of working.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement

Stay current with emerging SABR analytics methodologies, registries, and international standards.

Evaluate new tools, platforms, and research approaches, providing recommendations for clinical adoption.

Drive continuous improvement by proposing and implementing innovations that enhance service quality, safety, and reputation.
