This specialty-focused opportunity invites you to leverage your clinical mastery—from airway management and ventilator support to precise patient assessment and education—while making a tangible, daily impact on lives. Envision yourself guiding families through challenging moments with skill, compassion, and confidence, knowing your expertise helps restore breath, comfort, and hope. Set against the backdrop of Vermont’s pristine landscapes, you’ll also experience moments of reflection and renewal in a state celebrated for its beauty, outdoor recreation, and welcoming towns. Picture autumnal leaf peeping along winding roads, serene lake days, and the crisp, refreshing air that inspires both professional clarity and personal well-being.

Location Benefits: Vermont offers a high-quality healthcare environment in a region known for its strong sense of community, excellent schools, and safe, scenic surroundings. Middlebury provides a friendly, walkable town center, access to cultural events, local farms, and picturesque outdoor spaces just minutes from the hospital floors you’ll support. The state is renowned for outdoor adventures—from hiking and biking to skiing and snowshoeing—making it possible to recharge after demanding shifts. For professionals seeking variety, the role also provides the option to work across multiple U.S. locations within our network, delivering exposure to different patient populations, facility cultures, and clinical protocols. This blend of a stable, purpose-driven base in Vermont with the potential for rotational opportunities across the country creates a uniquely fulfilling career path that honors both professional growth and personal well-being.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Respiratory Therapist specializing in registered practice, you’ll contribute to critical patient-care activities, including respiratory assessments, ventilator management, airway clearance techniques, airway and secretion management, ABG sampling coordination, and post-acute patient education to support successful weaning and discharge planning. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and multidisciplinary teams to optimize care plans, documentation, and treatment efficacy. The position offers robust professional growth within the specialty, with avenues to deepen expertise through targeted certifications, leadership development, and cross-site experiences that broaden clinical versatility. Competitive compensation reflects the value you deliver, featuring a weekly pay range of $2,209-$2,358, plus a potential sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease transition. We also provide flexible extension opportunities, allowing you to extend your assignment beyond the initial period as your career goals evolve. Comprehensive travel support includes 24/7 assistance from our dedicated team, ensuring you have reliable, real-time help wherever you’re practicing. You’ll have access to resources that support your safety, credentialing, orientation, and ongoing education, reinforcing a seamless, confidence-boosting travel experience.
