Hospital Scheduler Senior – Radiology
PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center | Ketchikan, Alaska
Per Diem / Relief | Day Shift
$24.32-$34.33/hr + 15% differential in lieu of benefits

Every Smooth Patient Experience Starts Somewhere

Most patients never see the work that happens behind the scenes.

They don't see the phone calls.The calendar juggling.The resource planning.The dozens of moving pieces that all have to come together before a single exam, procedure, or surgery can happen.

But you do.

And if you've ever been the person everyone turns to when something needs to get figured out, you'll understand why this role matters.

At PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center, your day isn't spent simply scheduling appointments. You're helping patients move forward. You're coordinating clinicians, technologists, equipment, departments, and timelines so care happens when it's supposed to happen.

When things run smoothly, people notice.

When something unexpected comes up, you're the calm voice helping find a solution.

That's the kind of work this role is built around.

Imagine Your Day

You arrive in the morning and begin connecting the dots.

A patient needs imaging before a procedure.

A clinician's schedule changes.

A technologist needs equipment reserved.

A prior authorization needs attention.

A procedure slot unexpectedly opens.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed, you enjoy the challenge.

You know how to organize information, anticipate conflicts before they become problems, and keep everyone moving in the same direction.

By the end of the day, dozens of patients received the care they needed because you helped make it happen.

Not many administrative roles give you that kind of impact.

Why PeaceHealth Feels Different

PeaceHealth is a Person-First, Value-Driven, Highly Trusted organization.

That shows up in the way we care for patients, but it also shows up in how we support our caregivers.

People here genuinely understand that healthcare works best when caregivers feel respected, supported, and connected to a larger purpose.

The result is a culture where your contributions matter, your voice is heard, and the work you do is recognized for the difference it makes.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Your work touches nearly every part of the patient experience.
• Per diem flexibility provides greater control over your schedule.
• Variety in your day keeps the work engaging and meaningful.
• You'll collaborate with clinicians, nurses, technologists, and multiple hospital departments.
• Every day brings opportunities to solve problems, coordinate care, and make an immediate impact.

Who Thrives Here

• Naturally organized people who enjoy creating order from complexity.
• Problem solvers who stay calm when priorities shift.
• Communicators who build trust quickly with patients and colleagues.
• People who take pride in being dependable and detail-oriented.
• Those who find satisfaction in helping others succeed behind the scenes.

Why You'll Love Living Here

Ketchikan isn't for everyone.

That's exactly why the people who love it tend to stay.

Life here feels a little less rushed. Commutes are measured in minutes, not hours. Water, mountains, wildlife, and outdoor adventures are part of everyday life rather than something reserved for vacations.

You'll find a close-knit community, remarkable scenery, and a pace that allows you to spend more time enjoying where you live after the workday ends.

What You Do Matters More Than Most People Realize

Some of the most important people in healthcare never perform a surgery, operate an imaging scanner, or see patients in an exam room.

They're the people who make sure the entire system works.

If you're the kind of person who takes pride in keeping patients, clinicians, and caregivers connected to the care they need, this may be the role you've been looking for.
