Step into a pivotal role as a Radiology CT Tech on a travel assignment designed to elevate patient care and advance your expertise. Starting December 11, 2025, this contract spans multiple weeks with guaranteed 40 hours per week, offering a competitive weekly pay range of $2,149 to $2,366. This is your chance to apply advanced CT imaging skills across diverse settings, driving accurate diagnoses, optimizing patient comfort, and strengthening collaboration with radiologists and the broader care team. Picture yourself mastering complex protocols, improving image quality, and delivering efficient, compassionate care in high-demand environments. Beyond the immediacy of a single site, this opportunity opens doors to broad clinical exposure, enabling you to refine technical acumen while building a robust professional network that travels with you wherever you go. And as you consider your next step, imagine the beauty and variety of Illinois—a state that blends vibrant urban culture with serene natural landscapes, offering parks, trails, festivals, and a strong community of healthcare professionals committed to excellence.
Rockford, Illinois, stands as a dynamic base that combines affordability, accessibility, and the warmth of a midwestern community. You’ll find a welcoming downtown with dining, arts, and family-friendly attractions set along the scenic Rock River, with easy access to outdoor adventures, nearby lakes, and forest preserves. The region is known for its revitalized neighborhoods, cultural venues, and a thriving small-business scene that makes daily life engaging and doable. For hands-on radiology practice, Rockford presents a balanced pace that supports focused patient care while keeping travel flexibility open for assignments across the country. The state of Illinois itself offers a mosaic of experiences—from urban energy in Chicago to quaint towns and expansive countryside, along with state parks, museums, and culinary traditions that reflect the heart of the Midwest. The location also serves as a practical hub for travel clinicians, with streamlined housing options, reliable transportation routes, and a supportive local healthcare community ready to welcome talented CT technologists.
In this CT Tech role, you’ll be at the forefront of radiologic technology. Core responsibilities include operating and maintaining CT scanners, performing patient prep and positioning, selecting appropriate protocols, administering contrast when indicated, and optimizing imaging parameters to ensure precise, diagnostic-quality scans. You’ll collaborate with radiologists to interpret results, document findings, and communicate any concerns that influence patient care. You’ll participate in dose optimization strategies to minimize exposure while maintaining image quality, contribute to quality assurance processes, and assist with scheduling and throughput to support department efficiency. The position emphasizes ongoing professional growth through hands-on participation in advanced CT techniques, potentially including CT angiography and emerging imaging modalities, with opportunities to expand your scope of practice as you gain experience. Your day-to-day impact extends from patient comfort and safety to the reliability of critical diagnostic information that informs treatment decisions.
Beyond technical duties, this opportunity highlights a robust benefits package designed to support you and your family. A competitive sign-on bonus recognizes your expertise, and housing assistance eases the transition to travel life in a new city. There are extension opportunities that allow you to lengthen productive contracts and continue contributing to the team you help build. You’ll be supported by a comprehensive network, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating a new assignment alone. From onboarding to ongoing clinical and logistical support, you’ll have access to resources that help you settle in quickly, stay focused on patient care, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. You’ll also enjoy predictable pay with guaranteed weekly hours and clear terms up front, so you can plan ahead with confidence.
Our company values empower every CT technologist to pursue career advancement within a respectful, collaborative environment. We’re committed to recognizing your contributions, investing in your professional development, and cultivating a culture where technical excellence and compassionate care go hand in hand. You’ll work with leaders who listen, teams that support one another, and colleagues who share a dedication to improving imaging quality, patient experience, and outcomes. This is more than a contract; it’s a pathway to refining your craft, expanding your professional network, and growing your leadership profile within radiology.
