About the position

As a specialist nurse in the Brachy Unit, you work in a highly specialized care environment where you are responsible for providing individualized radiation therapy and working with high oncological care. You will receive patients and prepare them for treatment, assist doctors during surgeries and ultrasound examinations, and provide brachytherapy after completing dose planning. The work involves organizing and managing sterile equipment as well as other technical equipment used in operating rooms.
