Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) in Burlington, Vermont, where compassionate care meets exceptional opportunity. This role is designed for dedicated professionals who want to amplify their impact within a specialty that blends critical care expertise with patient-focused support. As an RRT in this program, you’ll lead essential respiratory interventions, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and help patients breathe easier during pivotal moments in their health. The Burlington experience isn’t just about work; it’s about stepping into a community rooted in natural beauty, vibrant culture, and a lifestyle that values balance and wellness. Start date is February 9, 2026, with a several-week assignment designed to immerse you in a dynamic care environment. Weekly pay ranges from $2,440 to $2,520, with hours not guaranteed, reflecting the adaptive nature of travel assignments. This is your chance to grow while immersing yourself in Vermont’s scenic landscapes, from the shores of Lake Champlain to the surrounding Green Mountains.
Vermont’s Burlington location offers a compelling blend of professional and lifestyle benefits. Picture starting your day with brisk morning air along the lakefront, followed by a shift that places you at the forefront of patient care in state-of-the-art facilities. The region invites outdoor enthusiasts year-round—whether you’re hiking scenic trails in the warmer months, savoring winter sports in the nearby mountains, or simply enjoying the charm of a city that blends small-town warmth with urban amenities. Working in Burlington also presents opportunities to connect with a community that values education, arts, and sustainable living, creating a workplace culture that honors balance between career and personal growth. For those who prefer to explore beyond one locale, this role can offer experiences across various locations within the United States, enriching your professional repertoire while maintaining a strong sense of home in Vermont.
Role specifics and benefits are crafted to empower you as a practicing expert while supporting your ongoing development within the respiratory specialty. Your core responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive respiratory assessments, optimizing ventilator management, delivering airway clearance therapies, performing arterial blood gas interpretation, administering inhaled therapies, and educating patients and families about treatment plans. You’ll collaborate closely with ICU staff, physicians, and nursing teams to develop and implement care plans, monitor patient responses, and adjust therapies as needed. The position emphasizes professional growth through exposure to diverse clinical scenarios, opportunities to refine specialized skills, and access to continuing education that aligns with your RRT credential. In addition to competitive compensation, the program offers a signing-style bonus, housing assistance to ease transition, and clarity on extension opportunities to extend your assignment based on mutual fit and hospital needs. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive support services, including 24/7 assistance from travel coordinators and clinical support staff who are dedicated to ensuring your success on the road.
A cornerstone of this opportunity is the robust support framework designed to help you thrive while you travel. You’ll have 24/7 access to a dedicated support team that coordinates housing, credentialing, shift scheduling, and on-site orientations, ensuring you feel prepared and secure wherever your assignments take you. The program’s emphasis on flexibility means you can pursue extension opportunities that align with your career goals, whether you’re seeking ongoing travel challenges, a bridge to permanent roles, or the chance to broaden your clinical experiences across subspecialties within respiratory care. The combination of competitive weekly pay, a structured bonus program, housing assistance, and extension pathways reflects our commitment to rewarding your expertise and honoring your decisions about where and how you practice.
Company values anchor the experience you’ll have as a traveling RRT. Our organization is devoted to empowering its staff to advance professionally while maintaining a supportive, collaborative work environment. You’ll encounter mentorship opportunities, peer-to-peer learning, and access to resources that facilitate skill enhancement, leadership development, and evidence-based practice.

Whether you’re sitting at a patient bedside or engaging with teammates in a planning room, you’ll be part of a community that believes in elevating each other and the standard of respiratory care nationwide.
