Job Description
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Travel Radiation Therapist in Radiation Therapy, an opportunity that puts your expertise at the forefront of compassionate cancer care while offering you the chance to explore diverse clinical settings. This multi-week assignment begins on 02/02/2026 and is designed to challenge and elevate your practice as you deliver precise, patient-centered radiation treatments, collaborate with seasoned oncology teams, and drive meaningful outcomes for those facing cancer. This travel role is crafted for professionals who thrive on variety, autonomy, and the satisfaction that comes from helping patients feel seen, supported, and hopeful through every step of their treatment journey. While you establish a base in Bay City, Michigan, you’ll also have the option to be deployed to additional locations across the United States, expanding your clinical horizons and broadening your professional network. And as you pursue excellence, you’ll be reminded of Michigan’s natural allure—where pristine lakefronts meet vibrant urban culture. From the scenic shores of the Great Lakes to charming riverfront districts and lush green parks, Michigan invites you to unwind and recharge between cases, creating a rich backdrop for your travel assignment.
Location benefits go beyond a single city. Bay City sits along the Saginaw Bay of Lake Huron, offering a welcoming community atmosphere with accessible amenities, cultural events, and outdoor recreation that suits many lifestyles. The region blends history, arts, and a thriving local dining scene, while easy access to nearby Midland and Saginaw broadens your exploration opportunities. For professionals who crave variety, the possibility of assignments in other U.S. locations means you can experience different hospital cultures, patient populations, and treatment modalities—each experience sharpening your clinical judgment and expanding your professional portfolio. You’ll enjoy the advantages of a dedicated travel team that coordinates housing, travel logistics, and onboarding so you can focus on delivering exceptional patient care and cultivating lasting professional relationships.
Role specifics and benefits
In this Radiation Therapy travel role, you’ll be integral to the daily delivery and planning of high-quality radiation treatments. Key responsibilities include performing accurate treatment planning under the supervision of licensed physicians, assisting with simulation and treatment delivery, verifying patient positioning and immobilization, and ensuring strict adherence to safety standards (ALARA principles) and institutional protocols. You’ll collaborate closely with medical physicists, dosimetrists, radiation therapists, and oncology team members to optimize treatment plans, monitor patient responses, and document care with meticulous accuracy. The role offers opportunities for professional growth within the radiation therapy specialty, including exposure to advanced imaging techniques, adaptive therapy concepts, and potential leadership tracks as you demonstrate clinical excellence and collaborative leadership.
This assignment comes with competitive benefits designed to support you every step of the way. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $2,507–$2,532, with the security of a structured, transparent compensation process. The contract emphasizes flexibility with guaranteed hours at 0.0 on paper, reflecting the travel nature of the position and the ever-changing demands of staffing across facilities. In addition to compensation, the package includes housing assistance to ease relocation and temporary housing needs, plus an opportunity for a sign-on or completion bonus that recognizes your expertise and commitment. There are extension opportunities built into the role, allowing you to continue partnering with the company as your itinerary and preferences allow. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support that never sleeps—24/7 travel assistance, accessible resources, and a responsive support team that’s there when you need it. This ensures you can focus on patient care with confidence, knowing guidance and help are available around the clock as you move between assignments.
