Job Description

Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Burlington, Vermont, and bring life-affirming care to patients when they need it most. This opportunity places you at the heart of a dynamic respiratory care team, where your expertise in patient assessment, airway management, ventilator support, aerosol therapy, bronchodilator administration, bronchoscopy support, and arterial blood gas interpretation translates directly into improved outcomes. As an RRT, you’ll be trusted to develop and implement treatment plans, monitor patient responses, adjust therapy as conditions evolve, and collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and multidisciplinary staff to guide tomorrow’s care today. You’ll have the chance to specialize across high-acuity units, step into neonatal or pediatric respiratory support when needed, and grow your professional profile through hands-on leadership, mentorship, and continuing education. This multi-week contract begins February 23, 2026, with a weekly pay range of $2,452–$2,594, and offers the potential for extension based on unit needs and your demonstrated impact. While guaranteed hours are not specified for this assignment, the structure is designed to provide flexibility and breadth of experience across settings, helping you sharpen clinical judgment and expand your scope of practice in real-world environments. Please note : The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.

Location Benefits : Burlington sits along the shores of Lake Champlain and embodies Vermont’s blend of small-city charm and vast outdoor possibility. Working here means you’ll enjoy access to vibrant arts and dining scenes, strong community ties, and a pace that values work–life balance. When you’re ready to broaden your horizons, this opportunity also offers the chance to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your professional footprint while the company provides comprehensive relocation and travel support. Vermont’s pristine fall foliage, cycling routes along scenic byways, and proximity to the Green Mountains offer countless opportunities for weekend escapes, healthy recreation, and quiet reflection after a demanding shift. The role blends the stability and community of a Burlington hospital with the possibility of immersive experiences in other regions, all supported by a program designed to reduce logistical stress and maximize clinical impact.

Role Specifics and Benefits : In this assignment, you’ll deliver advanced respiratory care to a diverse patient population, from acute to transitional care, under the supervision of seasoned leaders who value evidence-based practice. Core responsibilities include conducting thorough respiratory assessments, initiating and adjusting ventilation strategies, performing weaning trials, administering inhaled therapies, delivering chest physiotherapy as indicated, and providing critical bedside education to patients and families. You’ll document carefully, collaborate on roundings, and participate in interdisciplinary care planning to optimize pulmonary outcomes. This position is designed for growth : you’ll have access to structured mentorship, opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, and pathways for expanding into leadership or education roles within the respiratory team. Competitive benefits extend beyond competitive weekly pay to include a bonus structure tied to performance and staffing needs, housing assistance to ease transitions, and the potential for contract extensions that reflect your reliability and clinical excellence. The assignment also emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24 / 7 assistance while traveling with the company, access to dedicated traveler services, and rapid-response resources to address any on-site needs. You’ll be backed by a robust network that prioritizes safe assignments, timely payroll, and clear communication from onboarding through project completion. The combination of hands-on experience, cross-site exposure, and consistent support is designed to accelerate your proficiency while maintaining your emphasis on compassionate patient care and professional integrity.

Company Values : Our partner organization is rooted in empowering healthcare professionals to advance their careers within a supportive, inclusive environment. The culture emphasizes respect, collaboration, and continuous learning, with a clear commitment to career progression and wellbeing. You’ll find a community that encourages curiosity, recognizes expertise, and provides the tools and mentorship necessary to grow—from expanding clinical competencies to pursuing leadership roles within the respiratory therapy field. This is more than a travel assignment; it’s a pathway to sustained professional development, meaningful work, and a more resilient practice.
