About the job Assistant Manager, Imaging Services

About Our Client

We have partnered with a premier healthcare provider in California dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and cutting‑edge diagnostics. They are seeking a dynamic, hands‑on leader to step into the role of Imaging Services Assistant Manager. This is an incredible opportunity for a senior technologist looking to step into leadership, or an experienced supervisor ready to make a significant impact in a collaborative, patient‑centric environment.

Position Overview

As the Assistant Manager, you will work side‑by‑side with the Imaging Services Manager to oversee day‑to‑day clinical and administrative operations. This is a \"working manager\" role where you will split your time between supervising staff and directly participating in imaging procedures (dependent on your specific licensure).

You will help lead a talented team across multiple modalities—including Diagnostic Radiography, Fluoroscopy, DEXA, Mammography, Ultrasound, and CT—while ensuring the highest standards of safety, regulatory compliance, and patient satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate day‑to‑day imaging services to ensure efficient, safe, and accurate workflows.
• Supervise, mentor, and schedule technologists and ancillary staff; manage daily staffing levels to optimize productivity.
• Assist with hiring, onboarding, clinical training, and annual performance evaluations.
• Act as a bridge between frontline staff and executive leadership to maintain accountability and a positive team culture.

Clinical Oversight & Technical Duties (Working Manager)

• Perform clinical imaging procedures within your scope of license to support the team during peak hours or staffing shortages.
• Oversee equipment maintenance and ensure all machinery complies with ACR and manufacturer standards.
• Lead quality control programs, including image quality reviews and documentation audits (e.g., EQUIP for mammography).

Regulatory & Quality Compliance

• Maintain departmental readiness for all state and federal audits/inspections.
• Ensure strict adherence to regulatory and accrediting agency guidelines (MQSA, ACR, CDPH, FDA, RHB, CMS).
• Oversee documentation related to radiation safety, HIPAA, and infection control.

Position Requirements

Education & Certifications (Required):

• Education: Associate's degree from an accredited Radiologic Technology program.
• Licensure: Current California Certified Radiologic Technologist (CRT) License.
• Certification: American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification.
• Life Safety: Current Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification.

Experience & Skills:

• Proven leadership capability with the ability to coach, mentor, and lead peers effectively.
• Technical proficiency in PACS, RIS, and EMR systems.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple quality assurance and regulatory priorities simultaneously.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with a commitment to \"white-glove\" patient service.

Preferred Qualifications (Highly Desirable):

• Direct experience with EQUIP documentation and MQSA audits.
• Familiarity with Breast Care Coordination software.

Physical Requirements & Working Conditions

• Ability to stand and walk for extended periods, and safely lift/move patients or heavy imaging equipment as needed.
• Potential exposure to ionizing radiation (with strict adherence to provided safety protocols and dosimetry monitoring).
• Flexibility to work occasional weekends or holidays based on departmental and patient needs.
