Precision Meets Purpose in the Heart of the Midwest — A New Chapter Awaits in Des Moines

Des Moines, Iowa is the kind of city that quietly earns your loyalty. It doesn't need to shout — it just delivers. From its thriving arts scene and nationally recognized restaurant row to its expansive trail systems and genuinely affordable lifestyle, Des Moines has become one of the most livable cities in the entire country.

If you hold your ARRT certification and carry both the technical sharpness and the human touch that exceptional imaging requires, this could be the role that changes everything.

More Than an Image — A Moment That Matters

There's a particular kind of skill that doesn't show up on any certification — the ability to make someone feel safe in an unfamiliar room, with unfamiliar sounds, during one of the harder days of their life. As a CT Technologist, you're often the last face a patient sees before the machine takes over, and the first voice they hear when it's done. That moment belongs to you. And in this role, it's treated with the gravity it deserves.

You'll work within an imaging team that is built on shared accountability and genuine respect — professionals who take the craft seriously and still manage to bring warmth into every interaction. Workflow challenges are solved together. Wins are celebrated openly. And when something doesn't go right, the culture here is one of learning, not blame. This is the kind of team that makes you better at what you already do well.

Des Moines: More Than You Expected, Exactly What You Need

Let's talk about where you'd be planting roots. Des Moines has spent the last decade quietly redefining what a Midwestern city can be — and the results are impressive. The Greater Des Moines area boasts a booming culinary scene, a world-class sculpture park, and a vibrant downtown alive with boutique shops, craft breweries, and live entertainment venues. The Principal Riverwalk winds through the heart of the city, offering a scenic escape just steps from downtown's energy.

Beyond downtown, you'll find an expansive network of trails — over 800 miles in the metro region — that draws cyclists, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts year-round. Neighborhoods here are the kind where people know each other by name, where weekend farmers markets draw actual community, and where a reasonable mortgage doesn't require a second job. The cost of living in Des Moines consistently ranks among the most favorable in the nation, which means your income goes further without forcing you to give anything up.

Iowa's healthcare sector is growing with momentum, drawing in forward-thinking professionals and investing in infrastructure, technology, and talent. The city's hospitals and imaging centers are staffed by people who care — not just about outcomes, but about each other. If you're looking for a place where your career can genuinely take root and grow, Des Moines delivers in ways that might surprise you.

The People You'll Work Beside

Joining this imaging team means stepping into a department where institutional knowledge and fresh perspective are both valued. You'll find experienced technologists who have spent years mastering the craft alongside newer professionals still building their confidence — and everyone benefits from the exchange. Leadership here is transparent, communicative, and genuinely invested in your success. You'll have a voice in how things are done, and that voice will be heard.

Whether you're raising a workflow idea in a team huddle or offering a steadying word to a nervous patient, your contributions will register. That's not something every imaging role can promise — but this one can.

Is This You?

You lead with empathy and follow through with precision. You understand that behind every scan is a human being counting on you to get it right. You're the technologist who never rushes a patient, never cuts corners on positioning, and never stops caring — no matter how long the shift has been. You're adaptable when the schedule shifts, cool-headed when the room gets busy, and energized by the knowledge that your work directly shapes patient outcomes.

You bring your credentials, your experience, and your standards. We'll bring the opportunity, the team, and a clinical home where all of that is recognized and rewarded.
