Position Overview: We are seeking a proactive and clinically skilled Radiology Manager to oversee daily operations, manage staff, and ensure the highest quality of patient care. As a "working manager," you will serve as the first line of support for day-to-day employee relations, scheduling, and operational problem-solving. Reporting directly to the Director, you will act as a critical bridge between administration and the clinical floor. Crucially, this role requires the ability to step in and provide hands‑on clinical coverage (X-Ray required) during periods of high call‑outs, surging patient volumes, or staff shortages.

Key Responsibilities:

Leadership & Employee Relations:

• Manage day-to-day departmental workflow, ensuring optimal staff coverage and efficient patient throughput.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for resolving minor employee disputes, workflow issues, and interpersonal conflicts on the floor.
• Manage daily scheduling, PTO requests, and effectively pivot resources to handle unexpected call‑outs or staffing shortages.
• Partner with the Director to implement departmental policies, enforce compliance, and assist with performance evaluations.

Clinical Coverage & Operations:

• Act as a working manager, regularly stepping in to perform diagnostic X‑Ray procedures to maintain department flow during staffing crunches.
• Provide coverage in additional imaging modalities (if certified and applicable) to support patient care.
• Ensure all imaging equipment is functioning properly, initiating service calls and troubleshooting as needed.
• Maintain strict adherence to DNV/Joint Commission standards, facility protocols, and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP) radiation safety regulations.

Required Qualifications:

• Education: Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Radiologic Technology or a related healthcare field.
• Licensure/Certification: * Active ARRT (R) Certification.
• Active New Jersey DEP Diagnostic Radiologic Technologist License.
• Current BLS/CPR Certification.
• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years of clinical imaging experience, with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory, lead tech, or management capacity.
• Clinical Skills: Demonstrated expertise and current competency in diagnostic X‑Ray.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Multi‑Modality: Additional active ARRT certifications and clinical competency in other modalities (e.g., CT, MRI, Mammography) are highly preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• A "lead‑by‑example" mentality with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and support the clinical team.
• Strong emotional intelligence and conflict‑resolution skills to handle employee relations with fairness and professionalism.
• The ability to remain calm and decisive during high‑stress situations, sudden call‑outs, or equipment failures.
