The Radiology Technologist performs general x-ray procedures consistent with industry standards, regulations and Meridian policy, under the direction of the Physician.

The Urgent Care Group has about 20 Providers, but they rotate between all offices

This is a full time - 40 hour work week. Must be flexible to work any hours between Monday - Sunday / Mon - Friday office is open 8am - 8pm / Weekends 8am - 4pm / alternating Holidays and weekends

Schedule goes out 30 days in advance

Brick would be your "home office" but you can potentially be scheduled as needed in any office. Brick, Tom River, Jackson, Forked River and LBI (only one weekend in the summer).

There is usually only one xray tech at a time at a location unless we are fully staffed there - then there could be potential for overlap

The pace can vary - some days may be slow, some days may be busy (e.g. flu season, podiatrist in office)
