- Partner with the Director to implement departmental policies, enforce compliance, and assist with performance evaluations.
Clinical Coverage & Operations:
- Act as a working manager, regularly stepping in to perform diagnostic X‑Ray procedures to maintain department flow during staffing crunches.
- Provide coverage in additional imaging modalities (if certified and applicable) to support patient care.
- Ensure all imaging equipment is functioning properly, initiating service calls and troubleshooting as needed.
- Maintain strict adherence to DNV/Joint Commission standards, facility protocols, and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP) radiation safety regulations.
Required Qualifications:
- Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Technology or a related healthcare field.
- Licensure/Certification: * Active ARRT (R) Certification.
- Active New Jersey DEP Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist License.
- Current BLS/CPR Certification.
- Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of clinical imaging experience, with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory, lead tech, or management capacity.
- Clinical Skills: Demonstrated expertise and current competency in diagnostic X‑Ray.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Multi‑Modality: Additional active ARRT certifications and clinical competency in other modalities (e.g., CT, MRI, Mammography) are highly preferred.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- A "lead‑by‑example" mentality with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and support the clinical team.
- Strong emotional intelligence and conflict‑resolution skills to handle employee relations with fairness and professionalism.
- The ability to remain calm and decisive during high‑stress situations, sudden call‑outs, or equipment failures.
