Travel Respiratory Therapist Registered Respiratory Therapist Job
Burlington, VT
Contracted
University of Vermont Medical Center- UVMMC
Mid Level
Introduction: Step into a pivotal role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and help patients breathe easier, recover faster, and regain independence across diverse clinical settings. This opportunity places you at the heart of compassionate respiratory care, where your expertise in ventilator management, airway clearance therapies, and patient education directly influences outcomes. Located in Burlington, Vermont, you’ll experience a community renowned for its scenic beauty, vibrant downtown, and welcoming neighbors, with easy access to outdoor adventures in every season. Vermont’s natural landscapes invite daily inspiration—from tranquil lake breezes to dramatic mountain views—perfect for recharging after meaningful shifts. While you’ll begin in Burlington, there’s the possibility to work across various U.S. locations, enriching your professional portfolio while maintaining the core support that keeps you confident and capable.
Location Benefits: Burlington sits along the shores of Lake Champlain, offering a blend of small-city charm and big-city opportunities. You’ll enjoy a friendly, walkable downtown, farm-to-table dining, and ample cultural events that celebrate Vermont’s rich heritage. The state’s commitment to outdoor recreation means you can swap long shifts for weekend trails, skiing, biking, or picturesque drives along scenic byways. For clinicians seeking broader horizons, this role also presents the chance to work in other locations nationwide, expanding your clinical experience, networking with diverse teams, and building a resilient, adaptable practice—while still benefiting from the dedicated travel support and resources of the company.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an RRT, you will assess and monitor patients requiring mechanical ventilation, perform ventilator checks and adjustments, deliver humidity therapy and aerosolized medications, conduct airway clearance techniques, and participate in rounds with multidisciplinary teams. You’ll interpret arterial blood gases, evaluate lung mechanics, assist with noninvasive ventilation, and contribute to weaning protocols to optimize patient recovery. The role offers clear pathways for professional growth in the respiratory specialty, with ongoing exposure to acute care guidelines, complex cases, and evidence-based practices that broaden your skill set. Compensation reflects the value you bring: weekly pay in the range of $2,270-$2,329, with comprehensive benefits and stable scheduling in a contracted travel framework. You’ll receive housing assistance to reduce living expenses, and there is potential for contract extensions to extend your impact and continuity of care for patients and teams. A standout feature is the extensive 24/7 support available while you travel with the company, ensuring you always have access to clinical leadership, credentialing assistance, and operational help whenever you need it. In addition, the role may include an opportunity for a performance-based bonus and the option to extend assignments based on unit needs and your professional goals. Start date is 03/05/2026, and the assignment runs for several weeks with the possibility of extension, depending on project needs and your preferences. Guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0, which means scheduling aligns with assignment demand while ensuring you retain peer support and continuity across shifts.
Company Values: Our organization is anchored in empowering its staff—fostering autonomy within a collaborative framework, recognizing expertise, and supporting career advancement across the respiratory discipline. We cultivate a respectful, inclusive culture where physicians, nurses, and therapists partner to deliver best-in-class care, invest in ongoing education, and champion work-life balance. You’ll join a team that values your voice, provides robust onboarding, mentoring, and access to leadership, and prioritizes a supportive environment where patient outcomes—and your professional growth—are the central focus.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to bring your RRT expertise to a vibrant Vermont community and then broaden your horizons through nationwide opportunities, apply today. This is your chance to contribute meaningfully to patient care, expand your clinical repertoire, and grow within a company that values your dedication and professional development. We’d love to hear how your experience with airway management, ventilation strategies, and respiratory therapies can enhance our teams and strengthen patient outcomes in Burlington and beyond.
