Job description

Interventional Radiology is where advanced imaging, procedural expertise, and life-changing patient care converge. At UVA Health, Interventional Radiology Technologists are critical members of a highly specialized team performing minimally invasive procedures that directly influence outcomes for some of the most complex patients in the region.

This opportunity is designed for technologists who want more than a routine procedural role. Here, you'll work alongside nationally recognized physicians and multidisciplinary teams while advancing your skills in a collaborative academic medical center known for innovation, education, and exceptional patient care.

The Role

As an Interventional Radiology Technologist, you will support a diverse range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a high-acuity environment where technical expertise, clinical judgment, and teamwork are essential. You will work closely with interventional radiologists, nurses, anesthesia providers, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals to deliver safe, efficient, patient-centered care.

An average day may include:

• Supporting a broad spectrum of vascular and non-vascular interventional procedures, from scheduled cases to emergent interventions.
• Preparing procedure rooms, imaging equipment, and supplies to ensure readiness for complex cases.
• Operating fluoroscopic and advanced imaging systems to provide real-time procedural guidance.
• Maintaining strict standards for radiation safety, sterile technique, and infection prevention.
• Anticipating physician and team needs to promote efficiency and exceptional patient outcomes.
• Educating and supporting patients and families throughout the procedural experience.
• Collaborating across multiple specialties to coordinate care for critically ill and medically complex patients.
• Contributing to quality improvement initiatives and supporting the academic mission through interaction with students, residents, and fellows.

The pace is dynamic, the technology is advanced, and the impact is immediate. Every day brings new clinical challenges, opportunities to expand your expertise, and the ability to make a meaningful difference in patients' lives.

UVA Health is a Magnet-recognized academic health system, Level I Trauma Center, and nationally respected leader in innovation, education, and patient care.

• Multiple shift options that provide flexibility and support work-life balance.
• Call incentives, overtime opportunities, and critical pay currently available.
• Highly competitive compensation, currently around the 90th percentile nationally.
• Exposure to a wide variety of complex Interventional Radiology cases within a busy Level I Trauma Center.

• Opportunities to participate in clinical research and clinical trials within a leading academic medical center.
• Strong commitment to continuing education, professional development, specialty training, and career advancement.
• Ongoing opportunities to expand clinical skills, learn new procedures, and practice at the highest level of the profession.
• A collaborative environment where technologists are respected clinical partners whose expertise directly impacts patient outcomes.

Most importantly, UVA Health offers a career, not simply a job.

For experienced technologists seeking continued growth, UVA provides an environment where you can learn, teach, mentor, innovate, participate in research, and help advance the field of Interventional Radiology. Whether your goal is to deepen your procedural expertise, contribute to clinical innovation, or take on greater leadership and educational responsibilities, UVA Health supports your long-term professional development.

At UVA, experienced technologists don't just do the work, they help shape the next generation of Interventional Radiology.

Working alongside physicians, trainees, and interdisciplinary teams, you'll have the opportunity to share your expertise, contribute to education, engage with emerging technologies, and be part of something bigger than filling a position. This is a place where your experience is valued, your growth is encouraged, and your impact extends beyond the procedure room.

Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates.
