MRI Technologist Aide

At Prenuvo, we are on a mission to flip the paradigm from reactive “sick-care” to proactive health care. Our award-winning whole body scan is fast (under 1 hour), safe (MRI has no ionizing radiation), and non-invasive (no contrast). Our unique integrated stack of optimized hardware, software, and increasingly AI, coupled with the patient-centric experience of our clinics across North America, have allowed us to lead the charge against “we caught it too late again.” 

We are looking for an MRI Tech Aide to join our incredible organization at a newly opening North Vancouver clinic.  

Our clinics are open up to seven (7) days a week, and the role may require a flexible schedule, including weekdays, weeknights, and weekends. As this is a fully on-site position with a home base in the North Vancouver clinic. The ideal candidate will be within 45 minutes commuting distance to North Vancouver. Additionally, as needed, the MRI Tech Aide will need to cover shifts at the Vancouver site located at 39 Nelson St.

Location of primary clinic: 123 13th street E North Vancouver
