Job Description & Requirements
Computed Tomography Technologist - (CT Tech)
StartDate: ASAP
Available Shifts: 10 N
Pay Rate: $2457.00 - $2532.00
This CT Technologist position is a night shift role at a community-focused hospital in Fairfield, Ohio, a growing suburb just north of Cincinnati. Fairfield offers a comfortable blend of small-town feel and metropolitan access: you get quiet residential neighborhoods, excellent local parks, and recreational amenities, along with quick access to Cincinnati’s dining, sports, arts, and cultural events. The area features a reasonable cost of living, diverse housing options, and easy highway access, making it appealing for technologists seeking a stable, convenient place to live and work.
The hospital provides a full range of imaging services and is known for a supportive, team-oriented environment where technologists, radiologists, nurses, and providers work collaboratively to deliver high-quality patient care. CT services support a busy emergency department, inpatient units, and outpatient imaging, giving technologists diverse clinical exposure and the opportunity to maintain and grow a wide range of technical skills. The imaging department emphasizes quality, safety, and patient-centered care, with protocols aligned to current best practices and a culture that values technologist input.
As a Night Shift CT Technologist, you will perform a variety of CT procedures for emergency, inpatient, and occasional outpatient cases. Typical nightly responsibilities include performing stat CT exams for stroke, trauma, and acute abdominal and chest complaints; coordinating with the ED team, hospitalists, and radiologists; and ensuring accurate, timely imaging to support rapid diagnosis and treatment. You will perform CT scans of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, spine, and extremities, with opportunities to assist with advanced vascular CTA and specialized protocols depending on departmental needs.
A typical night involves receiving and prioritizing orders, reviewing patient history and indications, positioning patients and setting up for CT exams, starting IVs and administering contrast per protocol, and ensuring images are transmitted to radiologists via PACS without delay. You will follow ALARA principles, adjust technique for body habitus and clinical indications, and adhere to department protocols for contrast safety and patient monitoring. Night shift CT technologists often function with a high level of autonomy, while still having access to radiology and provider support when needed.
Patient volumes may include a mix of ED, ICU, and medical-surgical inpatients, with workload varying by season and census. The department emphasizes efficient workflow and communication, so technologists can focus on both technical accuracy and patient comfort. You will be expected to assist with room stocking, basic equipment checks, and readiness for emergency cases, including code stroke, rapid response, and trauma alerts as applicable.
The CT suite uses modern scanners and digital workflow, supported by a fully integrated EMR and PACS. The hospital encourages ongoing education and skill development, providing opportunities to stay current on new techniques, protocols, and equipment. Technologists interested in broadening their scope may find opportunities for cross-training within other imaging modalities over time, depending on department needs and experience.
The culture within the imaging department is described as collegial and collaborative, with a focus on mutual respect, open communication, and supporting each other—especially on nights, where teamwork and flexibility are essential. New technologists receive structured orientation to CT equipment, protocols, and workflows, ensuring confidence on independently staffed night shifts.
If you prefer a CT-focused role rather than RN responsibilities, this position centers entirely on imaging practice: applying your technical knowledge, clinical judgment, and patient-care skills in CT to make a direct impact on diagnosis and treatment. It is well suited for technologists who enjoy the pace and variety of night shift work, appreciate a community hospital environment, and value the combination of suburban living with access to a major metropolitan area.
