Travel Radiation Therapy Job
Watertown, NY
Contracted
Samaritan Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role in Radiation Therapy in Watertown, New York, where your expertise translates into tangible relief and brighter futures for patients facing cancer. This multi‑week assignment, beginning February 2, 2026, invites skilled radiation therapists to join a collaborative oncology team that champions precision, compassion, and continuous professional growth. You will apply your knowledge of external beam therapy, image‑guided approaches, and meticulous treatment verification to tailor care, support families, and help patients maintain quality of life through challenging journeys. You’ll work in a settings‑driven environment that respects your clinical judgment while offering opportunities to deepen your specialty within a dynamic cancer program. Beyond the clinic, you’ll discover a state whose seasonal beauty and welcoming communities enrich your life outside work. New York’s scenic offerings are vast and varied, from the serenity of lakefront days to the splendor of mountain trails, festival seasons, and cultural experiences that affirm why so many healthcare professionals choose this region. Separately, you can explore the state’s rich landscapes and towns, where outdoor recreation and regional cuisine offer restorative escapes after impactful days in the treatment suite.
Watertown itself presents an appealing balance of small‑city warmth and outdoor adventure. Nestled along the St. Lawrence River and near the Thousand Islands, the area invites boating, hiking, winter sports, and family‑friendly activities that nourish work‑life harmony. The community benefits from a practical cost of living, accessible amenities, and a network of colleagues who value collaboration and continuity of care. For professionals seeking broader horizons, this assignment also connects you to a travel program across the United States, opening pathways to work at diverse cancer centers with varying technologies, patient populations, and workflow cultures. The arrangement offers the chance to broaden your professional perspective while maintaining a stable base at home, giving you the best of both worlds—local impact and nationwide exposure.
Role specifics go beyond routine patient care. You’ll lead and participate in the full treatment lifecycle: participating in initial consultations and simulation, contributing to and reviewing treatment plans, and delivering precise external beam radiation therapy with accuracy checks, imaging guidance, and strict adherence to safety protocols. You’ll perform accurate patient setup, verify positioning, manage shielding and immobilization, and monitor patient responses throughout therapy. Collaboration is key—working closely with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and nursing staff to ensure optimal dose delivery, margin control, and symptom management. The position supports professional growth through ongoing education, specialty training, and opportunities to deepen expertise in areas such as adaptive therapy, pediatric or breast radiation, and QA processes. In addition to core duties, you’ll have access to a competitive benefits package that includes a sign‑on or performance bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities for continued employment on favorable terms. A robust, 24/7 support framework ensures you’re never navigating travel or clinical challenges alone—the team remains connected to you, wherever you’re working, with dedicated travel coordinators, clinical mentors, and peer networks available around the clock.
Company values underpin every aspect of the role. Our organization is committed to empowering staff, ensuring clear pathways for career advancement, and cultivating a supportive, inclusive work environment. You’ll find mentorship, constructive feedback, and shared governance that recognizes your contributions and paves the way for ongoing professional development. We invest in cutting‑edge equipment, evidence‑based practices, and compassionate care, aligning scientific rigor with human connection. The culture emphasizes adaptability, resilience, and balance, so you can deliver exceptional patient care while pursuing your own growth and well‑being.
Ready to take the next step? Apply today to join a company that values your expertise and is committed to your professional trajectory. This opportunity in Watertown, with potential cross‑country experiences, offers competitive compensation—weekly pay ranging from $2,578 to $2,787, with guaranteed 40 hours per week—plus a meaningful bonus, housing assistance, and the chance to extend through subsequent assignments. You’ll receive comprehensive support from day one, including onboarding, licensure guidance, and 24/7 travelers’ assistance, ensuring you can focus on delivering outstanding care and advancing your career.
