From the first patient contact to the final image review, your precision, compassion, and adherence to safety protocols will help clinicians move faster and care better. Start date is 01/12/2026, with a contract designed to deliver substantial, week‑to‑week continuity for a number of weeks, maintaining a steady rhythm that supports professional focus and personal balance. You’ll work a guaranteed 40 hours per week, with a competitive weekly pay range of $2,051–$2,158, underscoring our commitment to recognizing the skill and dedication you bring to the radiology team.
Mattoon, Illinois, is a welcoming hub that blends small‑town charm with easy access to outdoor recreation and rich state parks. Imagine days spent enjoying the calm of nearby lakes, scenic trails, and vibrant community events, all while advancing your imaging career in a setting that values quality of life. Beyond Mattoon, you’ll have the opportunity to work in various locations across the U.S., presenting you with a broad spectrum of clinical environments—from community hospitals to larger imaging centers—each offering new learning experiences, diverse patient populations, and the chance to refine your technique across different imaging modalities. This role not only anchors you in a supportive Illinois community but also opens doors to nationwide experiences that expand your professional horizon while keeping you tethered to the core mission of accurate, compassionate patient care.
In this X‑Ray Tech position, your primary responsibilities span the full spectrum of radiologic service delivery. You will prepare patients and equipment, position to capture optimal radiographs, and execute high‑quality images while strictly adhering to ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principles to minimize radiation exposure. Your day will involve operating digital radiography systems, ensuring correct exposure factors, and verifying patient identification and documentation. You’ll collaborate closely with radiologists and other clinicians to interpret image quality and refine techniques as needed, while maintaining meticulous records, processing referrals, and participating in daily safety checks and equipment QA procedures. The role also invites ongoing professional growth through exposure to additional modalities, protocols, and software platforms, with clear pathways for advancement into senior radiology positions, cross‑training opportunities, and potential specialty track development. We emphasize not only technical proficiency but also patient communication—explaining procedures in an approachable way and addressing patient comfort or anxiety, particularly in pediatric or sensitive cases.
Our benefits go beyond competitive pay. You’ll receive a sign‑on style or performance bonus, with housing assistance designed to ease the transition to new assignments and locations, ensuring you can focus on clinical excellence without financial distraction. You’ll also have extension opportunities that permit continuity of care and deeper integration with facilities and teams you trust, enabling you to build lasting professional relationships. Importantly, you’ll enjoy comprehensive support from a dedicated team that is available 24/7 while you travel with the company. Whether you encounter a scheduling challenge, need urgent guidance on imaging protocols, or require logistical assistance, you’ll have reliable access to expert help at any hour. Our model centers on stability and reassurance for you as the provider, so you can devote your energy to delivering precise imaging and compassionate patient encounters.
Company values underpin every facet of this opportunity. We are committed to empowering our radiology staff to grow your competence, confidence, and leadership within the specialty. Our culture champions ongoing learning, mentorship, and visibility into career progression, ensuring you can chart a clear path from technologist to senior technologist, lead imaging projects, or step into coordination and training roles as you gain expertise. A supportive work environment means constructive feedback, collaborative problem‑solving, transparent communications, and recognition of your contributions to patient care and departmental success. We invest in your development with training resources, access to the latest imaging technology, and opportunities to translate your experience into broader clinical impact.
