Mid Level
Step into the role of a Registered Respiratory Therapist with a focused specialty in respiratory care, and bring your expertise to life in Plattsburgh, New York. Beginning February 9, 2026, you’ll join a collaborative, patient-centered team for a weeks-long assignment that centers on advanced respiratory support, precise assessment, and proactive management of diverse patient populations. As a Respiratory Therapist dedicated to excellence, you’ll lead lifesaving interventions, tailor therapy plans to individual needs, and partner with physicians, nurses, and support staff to optimize breathing, gas exchange, and recovery trajectories. Your knowledge of ventilator management, airway clearance techniques, chest therapy, aerosolized medications, and oxygen delivery will translate into safer, more comfortable journeys for patients navigating acute, post-operative, and chronic respiratory challenges. This is your opportunity to impact lives while expanding your clinical repertoire in a dynamic, fast-paced setting.
New York is famed for its energy and variety, and Plattsburgh sits at a unique intersection of natural beauty and welcoming community. Plan your days around the pristine shores of Lake Champlain, the rolling hills of the Adirondack region, and four distinct seasons that invite hiking, skiing, boating, and seasonal festivals. The location offers the charm of a traditional upstate town with close proximity to larger urban centers, making it an ideal hub for professional growth and personal renewal. You’ll also discover a state rich in culture, history, and outdoor adventures, where workers often enjoy a balanced lifestyle, affordable living, and access to outstanding regional healthcare networks. Beyond Plattsburgh, the assignment’s framework provides opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure and enriching your professional journey with diverse patient communities and facility cultures.
Location benefits extend beyond clinical practice. Plattsburgh is known for its supportive healthcare ecosystem, where multidisciplinary teams embrace shared knowledge and mutual respect. You’ll benefit from streamlined onboarding, robust clinical mentorship, and access to resources that empower you to refine respiratory care techniques while maintaining work–life balance. The broader region offers convenient transportation options, educational opportunities for ongoing certification, and a network of colleagues who value your contribution and perspective. The chance to work in multiple sites across the U.S. during your assignment translates into meaningful exposure to different care models, patient demographics, and state-of-the-art equipment, all while you enjoy the enduring natural beauty and community warmth that define upstate New York.
Role specifics and benefits center on your clinical leadership, professional growth, and supportive infrastructure. You’ll deliver high-quality respiratory therapy, including assessment, airway management, ventilator support, weaning strategies, secretion clearance, bronchodilator therapy, and noninvasive ventilation, with meticulous documentation and adherence to best practices. You’ll participate in rounds, contribute to care planning, and engage in continuing education activities that bolster your expertise in acute care, ICU, and general ward settings. The position emphasizes not only clinical excellence but also career development opportunities such as cross-training, potential extension options, and pathways toward advanced certifications or leadership tracks. In addition to competitive weekly pay between $2,468 and $2,550, you’ll receive housing assistance and the possibility of contract extensions, enabling you to tailor your experience to your goals. A critical component of the role is the comprehensive support available to you 24/7 while traveling with the company—experienced coordinators, clinical leads, and on-call resources who ensure you have the guidance and resources you need, whenever you need them. The arrangement is designed to be rewarding yet flexible, with transparent communication about responsibilities, schedules, and expected outcomes.
The company’s values center on empowering staff, fostering autonomy within a collaborative framework, and creating a work environment where growth is the norm. You’ll be part of a culture that prioritizes mentorship, recognition of clinical excellence, and ongoing opportunities to advance your skill set. True to these values, your voice will be heard in care decisions, your professional development will be supported, and you’ll join a team that values your expertise and dedication to patient well-being. The organization emphasizes a supportive atmosphere, equitable access to learning resources, and a commitment to work-life balance that respects your professional ambitions as you navigate the demands of travel assignments and clinical duties.
