Radiation Therapist — Northern Colorado
A regional health system in Northern Colorado — one of the larger integrated systems in the state — is hiring a Radiation Therapist for its Fort Collins-area cancer program. This is a permanent, direct-hire position, not travel and not contract.
The role at a glance
- Schedule: 80 hours per pay period (2 weeks), day and evening rotation. No overnight shift.
- Pay: $43.70 – $61.17 per hour, dependent on relevant experience.
- Location: Fort Collins area, Northern Colorado. On-site.
- Start: Actively interviewing.
What you'll do
Administer radiation therapy treatments as prescribed, in a LINAC-based environment running IMRT, VMAT, IGRT, and SBRT. Review treatment plans and patient charts for accuracy, perform simulations, fabricate immobilization devices, verify positioning with image guidance, and maintain detailed treatment records. You'll work inside an established radiation oncology team with physicist and dosimetry support already in place.
What's required
- Graduate of an accredited Radiation Therapy Technologist program
- ARRT(T) certification — active
- BLS (AHA or American Red Cross CPR for Professional Rescuer), card in-hand before start date
- No minimum years of experience required
- Colorado does not require a separate state license for radiation therapists — ARRT(T) is the practice credential. If you're coming from out of state with an active ARRT(T), you're day-one eligible.
Why this one is worth a conversation
- Most radiation therapy jobs look the same on paper. A few things about this one don't:
- Five-year retention bonus. The system funds an incentive bonus that accumulates annually each October and is paid out in October following the completion of five years of employment. It's a real lump sum at a real milestone — not a sign-on spread thin over quarters, and not an annualized bump baked into pay. (Pending client confirmation — may be 3-year structure; recruiter will verify on the call.)
- Tuition coverage up to 100% for approved degree programs. If you've been thinking about a BS completion, a dosimetry path, or graduate work, this is one of the more generous tuition programs in the region.
- PSLF navigation support. If you carry federal student loans, the employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness and actively helps employees route paperwork correctly — most systems don't.
- Full benefits from day one: medical, dental, vision, employer-paid life and disability with buy-up options, retirement plans, PTO, EAP (including free counseling visits and legal consultation), plus voluntary benefits like identity theft protection and pet insurance.
Why Northern Colorado
Fort Collins sits about an hour north of Denver, with roughly 165,000 residents, 300 days of sunshine a year, 60+ miles of in-town paved trails, and direct access to lakes, rivers, and mountains. It's the kind of place clinicians relocate to once and tend to stay. Cost of living is materially below Denver and Boulder.
Next step
If the schedule, pay, and scope line up, the next step is a 15-minute phone call with the recruiter to walk through your experience, confirm credential currency, and — if there's mutual fit — arrange the client interview. Most of our candidates close in 2–3 weeks from first call to signed offer.
