Checking Off Your Sonography Career Christmas List
While visions of sugar plums may not dance in your head anymore, we’re betting visions of a fulfilling sonography career do. Let’s put those visions on paper and see how BB Imaging might check off your dream job wish list:
✓ The opportunity to do my best work
We get it. You didn’t go to sonography school so that you could spend half your time filling out paperwork. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could hand those tasks off to another competent professional? You can. Say hello to the Technical Assistants (TA), BB Imaging’s very own administrative support superheroes! TAs handle administrative tasks, cleanup, room prep, and much more so that you can focus on patient care, scanning, and diagnostics. Our TAs empower you to focus on what you are most passionate about: high-quality ultrasound exams.
✓ Wellness benefits that keep me healthy and happy
We know that to be your best in-clinic, you've got to care for yourself outside of clinic. Your physical and mental health are important, and cost shouldn’t get in the way of seeking the care you need. That’s why we offer monthly wellness stipends you can put toward whatever keeps you feeling good. Massages to destress? You know it. Gym memberships to build strength and stamina? Of course. Yoga class to stay zen? Absolutely. Let us help you take care of YOU.
✓ A schedule that works for ME
Our sonographers typically work clinical hours and have nights, weekends, and holidays off. So, if you’re the type who needs a regular schedule that you can depend on, we’ve got it.
What if you’re looking for something a little more dynamic and flexible? As our company grows, opportunities to cover shifts outside of clinical hours are increasing, and we even have travel positions from time to time!
✓ Parental leave so I can put my family first
It should come as no surprise that we’re big proponents of caring for parents and newborns well into the fourth trimester. That care extends to our team members via generous parental leave—even if you both work with us!
✓ Reimbursement for travel costs
Many of our sonographers will work at 2-3 clinics within a regional area. We know driving gets expensive, so we offer mileage reimbursements that get lumped in with your paycheck. We even bump up your hourly wage by $2 if you travel 60+ miles outside your normal zone. All you have to do is provide your receipts. And if you’re traveling even further for work (think extended stays and travel gigs), we’ll pick up your expenses there too.
✓ Professional development opportunities that help me reach my goals
This has been a big topic for BB Imaging this year, and we’re so excited to roll out new programs for our sonographers. We’ve instituted Sonographer Development Leads in every region and updated our annual review process, so managers and team members stay aligned on goals and next steps. We also offer financial help for professional development including tuition reimbursement, conference stipends, and AIUM membership fees. Plus, we’re always moving and changing, so you'll have the chance to work on special projects like TeleScan® updates, webinars, and more!
✓ A positive and affirming company culture
We all feel taken for granted sometimes, and that just shouldn’t be the case. An email that says “thanks” is nice and all but doesn't cut it when it comes to celebrating you and your accomplishments. That’s why we incorporate celebratory opportunities everywhere we can. We’re talking about weekly kudos that get shared during team calls, our end-of-year STAR Awards, a special celebration or gift for Medical Ultrasound Awareness month, and lots of internal contests and giveaways throughout the year.
✓ The chance to work with all my besties
If leaving your work bestie behind is stopping you from applying, fear no more! BB Imaging’s sonographer referral program means you can bring your friends and get paid for it too. We offer $500 for a full-time sonographer referral and $250 for a part-time sonographer referral. And if you have friends who are still in school, refer them to our technical assistant position and get a $25 gift card when they get hired.
✓ The chance to work from home
Work from home? For sonographers? Yes, you read that right! In 2023, BB Imaging will start hiring telesonographers® to complete ultrasound diagnostics from home. You’ll work with TeleScan, our proprietary telesonography® as a service software, to extend your expertise to understaffed clinics and remote areas. This is an incredible opportunity to prevent injuries, extend your career, and provide care to the underserved. We invite you to learn more about this opportunity, ask questions, and submit your application for consideration as we begin launching in more clinics across the United States.
