Glenwood Springs, CO
Contracted
Valley View Hospital
Mid Level
As a dedicated Registered Respiratory Therapist, you’re invited to bring expert care, leadership, and compassion to a pivotal role in Colorado’s breathtaking Glenwood Springs. This opportunity places you at the heart of transformative patient care, where your clinical skillset and patient-centric approach will elevate outcomes, inspire teammates, and shape the standard of respiratory therapy across high-acuity settings. You’ll work hands-on with assessment, monitoring, and optimization of respiratory therapies, drawing on your specialized RRT training to guide ventilator management, weaning strategies, airway clearance, and chest physiotherapy. Your impact will extend beyond bedside procedures—educating patients and families, collaborating with physicians and nurses, and contributing to evidence-based plans that empower recovery, independence, and dignity for those facing acute and chronic respiratory challenges. Embrace a role that honors your expertise, widens your professional horizon, and positions you to influence care pathways in meaningful, lasting ways.
Colorado’s Glenwood Springs offers more than a compelling work environment—it's a place to recharge and reconnect with nature after demanding shifts. The area’s striking Rocky Mountain scenery, abundant hot springs, and outdoor recreation opportunities provide an inspiring backdrop for sustaining resilience and well-being. While you deliver exceptional care, you’ll also have access to trails along the Colorado River, nearby hot springs for restorative downtime, and superb dining and cultural experiences in a welcoming mountain town. If you crave variety, there’s the potential to extend your assignment to other locations across the United States, enabling you to explore new hospitals, patient populations, and clinical teams while advancing your competencies in respiratory therapies across diverse settings.
Location benefits begin with Glenwood Springs, a gateway to Colorado’s natural wonders, but the role also offers exposure to multiple U.S. locations, broadening your professional perspective. You’ll support patients across a range of hospital environments—academic centers, community hospitals, and regional facilities—developing adaptability, cross-team collaboration, and leadership capacity that position you for future growth. Expect a structured, supportive framework that respects your time and talents, with scheduling designed to optimize continuity of care and patient outcomes. The opportunity comes with a robust package that recognizes your expertise and commitment, including a welcome bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions that align with your professional goals and personal needs.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to accelerate your growth in respiratory care. Core responsibilities include performing patient evaluations, initiating and adjusting therapies such as CPAP/BiPAP, oxygen delivery, aerosolized medications, and advanced ventilator support; monitoring respiratory status, arterial blood gases, and trend analysis to inform clinical decisions; participating in rounds and care conferences to align treatment with evolving patient goals; and providing education on inhaled therapies, airway clearance techniques, and device use. You’ll participate in weaning from mechanical ventilation, post-extubation support, and optimizing airway clearance for conditions like COPD, pneumonia, ARDS, trauma, and post-surgical recovery. The role emphasizes continuous professional development through hands-on practice, mentorship, and opportunities to specialize in critical care, pediatrics, or neonatal respiratory support as your interests evolve.
The compensation and benefits package reflects a competitive, traveler-friendly approach. You’ll receive weekly pay within the stated range of $2,062-$2,220, with guaranteed hours of 24 per week, and a start date of 03/17/2026. In addition to competitive wages, you can expect a signing bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the option to extend the assignment if you wish to deepen your experience with a familiar clinical team. The arrangement emphasizes stability and flexibility, supporting your needs as you balance clinical excellence with personal well-being. A dedicated operations and clinical support team is available 24/7, ensuring you have real-time assistance, resources, and guidance while traveling with the company—so you can focus on delivering high-quality patient care with confidence.
Company values center on empowering staff, career advancement, and a nurturing work environment. The organization is committed to recognizing your contributions, investing in your professional trajectory, and fostering a culture where curiosity, collaboration, and accountability drive outcomes. You’ll be integrated into a supportive network that values your expertise, offers leadership opportunities, and encourages ongoing education through clinical ladders, certifications, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The emphasis is clear: your growth is the company’s priority, and your well-being matters as much as patient outcomes.
If you’re ready to expand your horizons, enhance your clinical practice, and contribute to compassionate, high-caliber respiratory care, this role offers an exceptional platform. Apply now to join a company that champions your expertise, supports your journey, and celebrates your impact on patients’ lives. Ready to embark on a journey that aligns clinical excellence with scenic Colorado living, diverse experiences, and a commitment to your professional development?
