Capture More Than Images - Build a Career Where the Pacific Sets the Tone

There are cities that simply have it all, and Long Beach, California is one of them. A coastal gem tucked between the energy of Los Angeles and the laid-back pulse of Orange County, this city hums with a quiet confidence that draws people in and rarely lets them go. For imaging professionals who are ready to bring their full expertise to a role that genuinely matters, this is a moment worth paying attention to. If you hold your ARRT credential and you're driven by both clinical precision and heartfelt patient care, what waits for you here is more than a job - it is a career with roots.

This position places you squarely at one of the most critical touchpoints in modern medicine. As a CT Technologist, you are not simply running equipment - you are generating the visual data that drives diagnosis, informs treatment, and sometimes changes the entire trajectory of a patient's journey. Your hands, your judgment, and your calm are all part of the equation. And in a facility that genuinely values imaging excellence, those contributions do not go unnoticed.

What Your Day Will Look Like

• Perform high-quality radiographic and CT imaging studies used by physicians to guide patient care decisions
• Position patients accurately and adjust imaging parameters to ensure optimal diagnostic output
• Partner closely with radiologists and interdisciplinary clinical teams throughout the imaging workflow
• Uphold and enforce radiation safety protocols to protect patients, staff, and yourself
• Keep meticulous records including imaging logs, equipment checks, and procedural documentation
• Offer clear, compassionate communication to patients before, during, and after each scan
• Support a clean, organized, and efficiently run imaging suite day in and day out

Education That Sets the Foundation

• Associate's Degree in Radiologic Technology is required
• A Bachelor's Degree in a related discipline is considered a strong advantage
• Graduation from a program accredited by a recognized radiologic technology authority is expected

Certifications You Will Need

• Active ARRT certification in CT, Radiography, or both
• Current BLS certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days of your start date

The Qualities That Will Help You Thrive

• A thorough working knowledge of diagnostic imaging protocols and current safety standards
• Strong interpersonal skills that translate across patients, families, and clinical colleagues alike
• Comfort navigating a fast-moving clinical environment where no two shifts look exactly alike
• A meticulous, accountable approach to every scan and every patient interaction
• Hands-on experience with PACS, RIS, and the imaging software that keeps modern radiology moving

What This Role Offers You

• A robust benefits package covering medical, dental, and vision for you and your family
• Flexible scheduling options and a generous paid time off program
• On-site continuing education and access to training that expands your modality expertise
• Real pathways to grow within imaging or cross-train in adjacent clinical areas
• A team culture rooted in respect, accountability, and genuine care for one another
• A fully on-site role within a collaborative, well-resourced clinical environment

More Than a Scan - Why This Work Is Irreplaceable

Every time you step into that imaging suite, something significant is about to happen. A parent waiting anxiously outside. A patient who has never had a CT before and does not quite know what to expect. An elderly gentleman who needs someone to slow down and explain what comes next. You are not just a technologist in those moments - you are a guide, a steady hand, a quiet assurance that things are being handled with care and skill.

The team you will be joining understands this deeply. They are a group of professionals who have chosen this work not because it was convenient, but because it means something. There is a rhythm to a well-run imaging department - one built on trust, communication, and shared standards - and this one has it. You will be supported, challenged, and respected in equal measure. That is not a promise made lightly. It is a culture that has been built deliberately.

Life in Long Beach - Where the Coast Meets Community

Picture waking up on a Saturday morning and heading down to the shoreline, coffee in hand, watching sailboats drift through the harbor as pelicans skim the surface of the water. That is Long Beach. A city with a waterfront that draws you in and a neighborhood culture that keeps you grounded. From the vibrant arts district in East Village to the eclectic restaurants along Pine Avenue, life here is layered, textured, and endlessly interesting.

This is a city of incredible diversity, where cultures intersect in the best possible way - in the food, the music, the architecture, and the conversation. Belmont Shore beckons with boutique shops and a lively coastal strip, while Bluff Park offers sweeping ocean views and quiet walking paths above the bluffs. The Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, weekend farmers markets, and a thriving craft brewery scene round out a lifestyle that is genuinely hard to beat.

For healthcare professionals, the greater Long Beach and Los Angeles metro region is one of the most dynamic medical markets in the country. World-class institutions, cutting-edge research, and a population that demands excellent care create an environment where talented imaging professionals are not just welcomed - they are needed. Your career here has room to grow in ways that may surprise you.

The Team Behind the Technology

You will be stepping into a department where the culture was built intentionally. Leadership here values transparency and trusts the people on the floor. Your voice carries weight, whether you are flagging a workflow concern or sharing an idea that could make the morning rush run smoother. New perspectives are not just tolerated - they are genuinely sought out.

Your colleagues will show up for you the same way you show up for your patients. This is a place where experience is respected, curiosity is encouraged, and nobody is left to figure things out alone. From day one, you will feel the difference of working somewhere that actually invests in its people.

Is This You?

You are someone who takes pride in doing things right. You know the difference between an adequate scan and an exceptional one, and you always aim for the latter. You communicate clearly, stay composed when the pace picks up, and treat every patient as if they are someone you care about personally - because in your mind, they are.

You bring your ARRT certification, your technical skill, and your sense of purpose. This role brings the team, the tools, and the kind of work environment that makes showing up feel worthwhile every single day.
