About the Role

At Carbon Health, our X-Ray Technologists play an important role in delivering exceptional urgent care. This is more than a traditional imaging position. As a Full-Time X-Ray Technologist (XRT), you'll combine your radiologic expertise with hands-on clinical support, becoming an integral part of the patient's care journey.

Unlike imaging-only roles, you'll have the opportunity to work with patients throughout their visit. From performing diagnostic X-rays and preparing images for radiology review to assisting with EKGs, obtaining vital signs, fitting crutches, and supporting other clinical procedures, your work will directly contribute to patient care and treatment decisions.

You'll also take ownership of the imaging workflow at your clinic, ensuring image quality, radiation safety, equipment readiness, and smooth daily operations. While you'll often be the primary imaging resource onsite, you'll have access to remote support from our X-ray leadership team, IT, and RapidRad when needed.

This role is ideal for an X-Ray Technologist who enjoys variety, values independence, and wants to be more involved in patient care than a traditional imaging-only position allows.
