HOT JOB: DUAL CT & X-RAY TECHNOLOGIST – 5x8 EVENINGS/NIGHTS (SANTA CRUZ, CA)

I am fast-tracking applications for a highly competent, dual-modality CT & X-Ray Technologist to anchor a high-volume acute care imaging service line on the scenic California coast. This 13-week contract features an immediate review pipeline, zero mandatory weekend constraints outside standard rotation, and a premium evening framework.

POSITION QUICK-FACTS

• Start Date: 08/17/2026 (13 Weeks)
• Shift Schedule: 8-Hour Evening Shifts | Flexibility required to occasionally fill in on Night shifts as department volume dictates.
• Guaranteed Hours: 40 hours weekly
• Weekend & Holiday Policy: Integrated directly into the permanent unit weekend and holiday coverage rotation. Weekend and holiday shifts reflect the standard evening/night hours.
• On-Call Mandate: On-call shifts are required; specific standby frequency and deployment expectations will be finalized during your interview.
• Systems & Charting: Cerner EMR integrated with McKesson PACS.
• Dress Code: Solid Teal scrubs (traveler provided).

THE CLINICAL MATRIX

• The Environment: A fast-paced, high-acuity diagnostic department operating two primary scanners: a Siemens Sensation 64 and a GE 16 Light Speed.
• Patient Census: Average of 10 to 20 scans per shift. Evening shifts represent the peak volume window for the department.
• Clinical Mix: Manage a diverse caseload encompassing standard Emergency Room (ER) trauma scans, virtual colonography studies, and cardiac/gated imaging protocols.
• Physician Support: An on-site Radiologist is not available 24/7. The department seamlessly transitions to Nighthawk remote teleradiology reading services for the late-night and overnight windows.
• Float Pool Scope: Must be fully flexible to float across the broader Radiology department footprint based on active census demands.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS (HARDSTOPS)

• Experience Baseline [NON-NEGOTIABLE]: Minimum 2 years of current acute care experience as a dual-modality tech. Hands-on, independent competency in both CT and X-Ray modalities is strictly required.
• Licensure: Active, unrestricted California (CA) Radiologic Technologist License and a CA Fluoroscopy Permit must be completely active and in-hand at the time of submission [HARDSTOP].
• Registries & Certifications:
  • Active ARRT Radiography registration (ARRT (R)) with official primary source verification.

  • Active American Heart Association (AHA) BLS certification.
