Step into a high-impact role as a Respiratory Therapist with a dynamic travel opportunity in Laconia, New Hampshire. Your expertise will touch lives across varied patient stories, from acute hospital floors to high-acuity units, as you deliver compassionate, evidence-based respiratory care. This assignment begins December 22, 2025, and runs for multiple weeks, with guaranteed 35 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,828 to $1,903. The numbers reflect our commitment to fair, competitive compensation, yet the true reward lies in helping patients breathe easier, participate in daily activities, and return to the communities they cherish. Nestled on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, Laconia offers a serene backdrop for focused clinical work and well-deserved downtime. Beyond the clinical responsibilities, you’ll discover a region rich in culture, seasonal recreation, and a quality of life that supports your personal and professional balance. For those who crave variety, this assignment also offers the opportunity to advance across our national network, gaining exposure to diverse facilities, patient populations, and care paradigms that elevate your clinical confidence and leadership potential.
Location Benefits: Laconia presents the best of New England living with a welcoming, safe community, scenic outdoors, and easy access to both lakeside leisure and urban amenities. You’ll benefit from a supportive local healthcare environment that values teamwork, innovation, and patient-centered care. The region affords abundant opportunities to unwind after shifts—stroll along tranquil waterfronts, enjoy seasonal fairs, savor farm-to-table dining, and explore nearby mountain trails or winter ski escapes. At the same time, the program’s broader footprint can place you in other appealing locales across the United States, opening doors to assignments in different hospital settings, specialties, and patient demographics. This blend of stable, high-quality base work with the possibility of new experiences ensures your career remains dynamic, educational, and personally rewarding. You’ll gain professional resilience as you rotate through varied units, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and adapt to evolving clinical challenges. Whether you’re drawn to intimate community hospitals or larger regional centers, the travel pathway is designed to broaden your expertise while preserving the supportive culture you expect.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Respiratory Therapist in this travel assignment, you’ll perform comprehensive respiratory care for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients as appropriate, under physician direction and evidence-based standards. Responsibilities include conducting initial and ongoing patient assessments, selecting and administering prescribed airway clearance therapies, ventilator management and troubleshooting, humidification and aerosol therapy, inhalation treatments, oxygen titration, and troubleshooting equipment to prevent interruptions in care. You’ll monitor patient responses, interpret results of arterial blood gases when required, document outcomes accurately, and collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and respiratory care teams to optimize treatment plans. You’ll assist with weaning protocols, participate in rounds, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives. The role also emphasizes infection control, safety checks, and equipment maintenance to uphold the highest standards of patient protection. Growth opportunities abound: pursue continued education and specialty certifications, gain exposure to advanced modalities, and position yourself for extended assignments or leadership roles within the travel program. In addition to competitive compensation, you’ll receive a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to minimize relocation stress, and extension opportunities that recognize your contributions and reliability. A robust support network accompanies you on every step of the journey, with 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel support team, ready to resolve scheduling, licensing, or clinical questions at any hour. You’ll have access to comprehensive onboarding, real-time operational updates, and continuous clinical mentorship to ensure you feel confident and connected, whether you’re at a base facility or exploring a new placement.
Company Values: Our organization is grounded in empowering healthcare professionals, prioritizing career advancement, and cultivating a supportive work environment where curiosity and compassion thrive. We recognize that great care begins with valued teammates who feel heard, supported, and invested in. The travel program is designed to create pathways for growth—through competency development, leadership exposure, and the chance to broaden clinical horizons across diverse patient populations and settings.
