Here, your skill in positioning, exposure optimization, and image quality will translate directly into faster, clearer diagnoses and calmer patient experiences. As you contribute to a supportive radiology team, you’ll expand your clinical repertoire, collaborate closely with radiologists, technologists, and support staff, and build a foundation for ongoing growth within a nationally respected travel healthcare program. Picture a fulfilling rhythm where your day-to-day work matters—every picture you capture helps a patient get the answers they need, every interaction reinforces trust, and every professional connection strengthens your career trajectory. Beyond the clinical impact, this opportunity invites you to explore the beautiful places of Illinois and the broader U.S., enriching your professional journey with diverse communities, practices, and landscapes.
Rockford offers a compelling backdrop for your assignment, balancing Midwestern charm with modern amenities. Nestled along the Rock River, the city combines parks, riverwalks, cultural venues, and a thriving local dining scene that makes after-work exploration easy and inviting. The surrounding Illinois landscape—from forest preserves and lakes to nearby towns with distinct character—provides appealing weekend escapes for outdoor enthusiasts, history lovers, and families alike. The location also serves as a convenient gateway for broader travel experiences across the United States, giving you the option to rotate through varied imaging environments while enjoying the comforts of a familiar support network. Your role here is designed to maximize stability and professional development, including guaranteed hours and predictable weekly compensation, while still offering the flexibility to extend beyond the initial weeks if you wish to broaden your experience in other settings.
As a Radiology Tech on this program, your core responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality radiographic imaging with patient-centered care. You’ll perform diagnostic radiography procedures, ensure precise patient positioning, select appropriate exposure techniques, and monitor radiation safety for patients and staff. You’ll be responsible for maintaining equipment readiness, infection control, and accurate documentation of procedures, while upholding the highest standards of image quality. Your collaboration with radiologists for image interpretation, adherence to protocols, and the ability to adjust protocols for pediatric or adult populations will be essential. The role offers meaningful professional growth through hands-on practice with advanced imaging devices, protocol optimization projects, participation in quality assurance activities, and exposure to a variety of clinical scenarios that refine your diagnostic acumen. With a competitive weekly pay range of $1,977–$2,022 and guaranteed hours at 30 per week, you’ll have a reliable compensation framework that supports financial planning while you focus on clinical excellence. In addition, you’ll have access to a robust benefits package that includes a sign-on incentive, housing assistance, and potential extension opportunities that align with your career goals.
Our program’s strength lies in comprehensive, ongoing support designed to keep you confident and productive on the road. You’ll receive 24/7 assistance from a dedicated support team as you travel, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone—whether it’s coordinating housing, handling credentialing, or troubleshooting on-site needs. The housing assistance program is designed to minimize relocation friction, with options for comfortable, fully equipped accommodations near your assignment location so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient care from day one. Beyond logistics, you’ll benefit from professional mentorship, access to continuing education resources, and an environment that encourages you to take on additional responsibilities or expand into related modalities as opportunities arise. The consistency of weekly pay and guaranteed hours provides stability, while the potential for contract extensions opens doors to longer-term placements within our national network.
Company values center on empowering staff to grow, learn, and advance in a supportive, collaborative setting. Our mission is to uplift healthcare professionals by offering clarity in career pathways, transparent communication, and meaningful recognition of your expertise. We invest in your development through structured orientation, skills refreshers, and exposure to a spectrum of imaging modalities and clinical settings.
