Rad Tech Assistant - PRN

Radiology Technology Assistant

Your job is more than a job.

You could just look for a job or, here's a thought, what if you tried to find your calling instead? A day in the life of a Radiology Technology Assistant is never boring and it's the perfect opportunity to work alongside a team of committed, enthusiastic, and talented caregivers who wake up every day knowing that healthcare is simply better with a little extra heart - and a whole lot of soul - sprinkled in!

If you're preparing for a career as a Radiology Technologist or maybe just considering it, working as a Radiology Tech Assistant is a great way to preview what every day extraordinary is like. If you're a first-rate juggler of multiple patient care duties like preparing patients for diagnostic imaging procedures and handling administrative tasks and, through it all, you maintain your calm and professional demeanor, your focus and drive, and of course, your sense of humor, your spunk is what we love!

Your experiences, your knowledge, your skills, your empathy, your compassion, your personality, all of it adds up to you. And we're excited to get to know you and find out what you'll bring to this supportive diagnostic imaging role.
