Picture yourself guiding patients through intricate therapies, optimizing ventilatory support, conducting thorough assessments, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to develop personalized care plans. Beyond the bedside, Arizona’s sunlit landscapes invite moments of renewal—from desert sunsets over the Phoenix outskirts to easy access to world-class outdoor adventures, vibrant urban activity, and family-friendly communities. Glendale itself offers a thriving hospital ecosystem, modern pulmonary programs, and a welcoming, professionally rewarding environment.

As a Respiratory Therapist on this assignment, you’ll lead and participate in essential respiratory care activities: conducting patient evaluations, administering inhalation therapies, operating and titrating ventilators, managing airway clearance techniques, interpreting arterial blood gases, adjusting therapies under physician direction, and educating patients and families on treatment plans and device use. You’ll have the opportunity to expand expertise across adult, pediatric, and neonatal care scenarios, foster collaborations with critical care teams, and participate in performance improvement initiatives that broaden your clinical acumen. Our program emphasizes professional development through on-the-job mentorship, specialty certifications, and exposure to state-of-the-art pulmonary interventions. You’ll enjoy competitive benefits, including a bonus opportunity, housing assistance to reduce relocation stress, and clear extension opportunities that let you continue building RPM-level experience with trusted colleagues. The arrangement includes guaranteed hours at 24.0 per week, with weekly compensation in the range of $2,003-$2,060, reflecting the value you bring to a high-demand specialty.
