Contracted
Athol Hospital
Mid Level
Take the next step in your Respiratory Therapy career as a Registered Respiratory Therapist on a travel assignment anchored in Athol, Massachusetts. This is your doorway to delivering critical patient care, shaping outcomes across diverse facilities, and expanding your professional reach while you earn a competitive weekly pay between 1,655 and 1,700 dollars. The start date is February 4, 2026, with a contract measured in weeks and the potential for extensions. You’ll enjoy guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring stability as you build your experiential portfolio. Massachusetts offers a blend of historic charm and natural beauty—from the foothills and lakes surrounding Athol to the vibrant fall foliage that a New England autumn delivers. You’ll be inspired by the region’s parks, trails, and community events, while you focus on clinical excellence in hospitals, clinics, and community-based settings. The opportunity also invites you to explore beautiful corners of the state and country, experiencing remote, urban, and rural environments that enrich your clinical judgment and adaptability.
Athol provides a welcoming, tight-knit community with easy access to Worcester’s amenities and the broader Massachusetts region. For travel assignments across the U.S., you’ll gain exposure to a wide array of care models and patient populations, from high-volume urban centers to smaller regional facilities. This program supports your growth with stable scheduling, collaborative teams, and opportunities to diversify your resume with a spectrum of respiratory cases. In parallel with your travel responsibilities, you’ll enjoy the chance to immerse yourself in Massachusetts culture and outdoor recreation during your downtime, balancing professional commitment with personal well-being.
In this role, you’ll perform the full scope of responsibilities essential to a registered respiratory therapist. You will assess patients requiring respiratory support, operate ventilators and invasive monitoring equipment, deliver airway clearance therapies, administer prescribed inhaled medications, and initiate weaning protocols under physician guidance. You’ll conduct arterial blood gas sampling and interpretation, optimize oxygen delivery, and implement evidence-based protocols for infection control and patient safety. Collaboration is key: you’ll work closely with physicians, nurses, and multidisciplinary teams to craft individualized care plans and adjust therapies as patient needs evolve. Documentation is meticulous in electronic records, and you’ll provide education to patients and families to support recovery and adherence. The role offers pathways for professional growth, including mentoring new clinicians, pursuing subspecialty competencies, and contributing to quality improvement initiatives. As part of the package, you’ll receive a competitive compensation structure with weekly earnings in the stated range, along with a signing or completion bonus tied to assignment length, housing assistance to ease relocation or temporary lodging, and contract extensions that open doors to continued travel opportunities. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of this program, with 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team to assist with licensing, credentialing, and on-site challenges wherever your assignments take you.
Company values center on empowering staff through continuous education, accessible leadership, and a supportive, inclusive work culture. We’re committed to transparent communication, reliable scheduling, and timely compensation while you pursue clinical excellence. You’ll find a culture that prioritizes collaboration, professional development, and work–life balance, helping you advance while maintaining compassionate, patient-centered care. Our approach is designed to cultivate confidence and leadership in your practice, whether you’re building expertise in critical care scenarios or mentoring peers along the way. You’ll be part of a community that celebrates your contributions, provides mentorship, and rewards dedication with opportunities to grow through extended assignments and progressive responsibilities.
