Step into a pivotal, life-changing role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Ukiah, California, and bring critical care expertise to patients who rely on your skill, empathy, and clinical judgment. In this specialty, your impact extends beyond bedside treatment; your leadership shapes care plans, optimizes ventilation strategies, and champions patient education that accelerates recovery and improves long-term outcomes. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and multidisciplinary teams to tailor therapies, monitor responses to treatment, and adjust interventions with precision and compassion. This opportunity invites you to imagine how your knowledge can elevate respiratory care across diverse settings, while you savor California’s iconic beauty—from the towering redwoods along nearby avenues of adventure to the sunlit shores and scenic inland landscapes that define the Golden State. If you’ve ever dreamed of making a meaningful difference while living in a region renowned for outdoor recreation, culture, and community, this is your moment.
Ukiah offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment with access to excellent amenities, quality schools, and a robust network of outdoor activities. You’ll enjoy a slower pace that supports work-life balance, yet you’ll be part of a dynamic healthcare community known for its dedication to patient-centered care. This assignment also provides the chance to broaden your professional footprint across various locations in the U.S., enhancing your clinical versatility and expanding your professional network. Whether you prefer hospital-based acuity in a thriving regional hub or community hospital settings that demand adaptability and initiative, you’ll gain invaluable experience with a broad patient mix and collaborative teams. Expect opportunities to engage with advanced therapies, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and contribute to respiratory care programs that elevate standard of care for diverse patient populations, from adults with complex lung disease to post-acute care pathways.
Role specifics and benefits come together to support your growth and stability. As a Respiratory Therapist, you’ll perform comprehensive assessments, administer inhalation therapy, manage oxygen delivery systems, and operate a range of ventilation modalities under physician direction. You’ll interpret arterial blood gases, titrate bronchodilators and humidified therapies, and implement airway clearance techniques tailored to each patient’s needs. You’ll monitor hemodynamic status and ventilator parameters, troubleshoot device alarms, and respond rapidly to clinical changes. Your responsibilities will extend to patient and family education, discharge planning, and collaboration with therapists, case managers, and nurses to ensure smooth transitions of care. You’ll have opportunities to specialize in pediatric or adult respiratory care, participate in weaning protocols, and contribute to education and training initiatives for staff and students. The position includes a competitive weekly pay range of $1,735 to $1,788, with housing assistance and potential contract extensions, allowing you to plan with confidence. In addition, you’ll receive substantial support to ensure success on assignment, including onboarding assistance, resource access, and continuous guidance from clinical leadership. A recognition-oriented environment means your expertise is valued, your professional growth is prioritized, and your voice contributes to shaping the standards of respiratory care within the facility.
The package also emphasizes a strong framework of support. You’ll be part of a company that delivers 24/7 assistance for traveling clinicians, ensuring you have reliable help whenever you need it, whether you’re navigating a clinical challenge, coordinating care with a hospital team, or adjusting to a new locale. In addition to competitive compensation, you can expect a sign-on or performance bonus, housing stipends or arranged accommodations, and extension opportunities should you wish to continue your assignment beyond the initial weeks. The assignment is designed for weeks-long engagements with flexibility to align with the facility’s needs and your professional goals, and it can be an entry point to broader opportunities across the network of partner sites nationwide. You’ll benefit from streamlined credentialing assistance, robust orientation, and ongoing clinical support to maintain your confidence and competence as you deliver exceptional patient care in a fast-paced, ever-evolving landscape.
Company values center on empowering clinicians to advance their careers while fostering a supportive, inclusive work environment.
