Discover a career as a Radiation Therapist in New Zealand

From the first appointment to final treatment, Radiation Therapists in New Zealand walk alongside their patients every step of the way. If you're looking for a career that combines advanced technology with meaningful patient care — and a lifestyle that lets you thrive outside of work too — New Zealand is ready for you.

About the role

As a Radiation Therapist with Health New Zealand, you'll work within collaborative, flat-structured teams delivering high-quality cancer care using world-class technology. You'll have the opportunity to rotate across the full patient journey — and wherever you're coming from, we'll support you to grow your scope as you settle in.

Day to day you'll:

• Plan, simulate and deliver radiation therapy treatment as prescribed by the Radiation Oncologist
• Work with advanced linear accelerators including Varian TrueBeam, Halcyon and Elekta Versa HD
• Use leading treatment planning systems including Eclipse, RayStation and Monaco
• Build lasting connections with patients and their whānau throughout their treatment
• Contribute to quality assurance, service development and continuous improvement
• Support and mentor students and new staff as you grow in the role

A note on scope: If your current scope doesn't include planning, don't let that put you off — we'll work with you to develop and expand your practice once you're here.
