Newark-Wayne Community Hospital - Aya
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) within our dynamic travel care program. In this role, your expertise will elevate patient outcomes across diverse acute and critical settings, delivering compassionate care while you explore iconic locales. As a Respiratory Therapist with specialized training, you’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists to optimize ventilation, airway management, and respiratory therapies. Your work will illuminate the impact of evidence-based practice, and your adaptability will open doors to a rewarding career in one of the most vibrant regions in the country. Separate from the clinical focus, you can fall in love with New York’s beauty—from the majesty of the Adirondacks and the Catskills to the historic Hudson Valley, the splendor of Niagara Falls, and the energy of New York City—plus Newark’s waterfront charm and rich urban character. This is your opportunity to grow professionally while savoring diverse environments that sharpen your clinical acuity and enrich your life. Start date: 01/19/2026. Assignment is measured in weeks with extension opportunities possible, and hours are not guaranteed.
Location Benefits: You’ll have the chance to work in New York and Newark, with pathways to assignments across the U.S. in respected facilities that prize patient-centered care. The region offers access to world-class education, research, and urban culture, balanced by friendly communities and a pace that supports work–life balance. Travel assignments expose you to a broad spectrum of diagnoses and patient populations, from bustling metropolitan centers to quieter community hospitals, giving you a panoramic view of modern respiratory therapy. Enjoy the perks of experiencing different facilities, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and building a robust network of mentors while staying connected to a supportive corporate framework that prioritizes your wellbeing. If you wish to extend beyond a single site, flexible opportunities exist to continue your assignment in neighboring states, creating a seamless professional arc for your training and expertise. Beautiful places in New York state invite you to decompress after shifts—from lakeside strolls to scenic drives along the Hudson, to mountain vistas and waterfronts that illustrate the state’s natural diversity.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Respiratory Therapist, you will assess, plan, implement, and monitor respiratory care plans, including inhalation therapies, ventilatory support, arterial blood gas interpretation, and weaning protocols under physician direction. You’ll educate patients and families, ensure device safety and maintenance, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. The role offers significant professional growth: you can pursue advanced certifications, expand into neonatal or adult critical care pathways, and gain exposure to high-acuity cases that refine your clinical judgment. Compensation is competitive and transparent, with weekly pay in the range of $1,946–$1,991. A sign-on bonus is available where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities to smoothly transition you into longer-term assignments if you choose. You will be supported by a dedicated travel team throughout the engagement, including 24/7 assistance while you’re traveling, on-call clinical leadership, and a streamlined onboarding process to get you from orientation to optimal performance quickly. Your schedule will be organized to match patient care needs and your preferred travel rhythm, with clear communication about shifts, duties, and evaluation milestones. You’ll join a culture that values precision, compassion, and continuous learning, with access to ongoing education credits, mentorship, and cross-site collaboration that accelerates your specialization as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Guaranteed hours: 0.0 for this travel assignment, with a framework designed to maximize flexibility while maintaining patient care standards.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering staff, advancing careers, and cultivating a supportive environment where your voice matters. We believe in transparency, fair guidance, and a collaborative approach to patient care. With a focus on mentorship, professional development, and wellness, we invest in you as you invest in others—patients, teams, and communities. You’ll find a culture that celebrates curiosity, resilience, and accountability, with leadership accessible to help you navigate challenges and celebrate successes. This is more than a job; it’s a pathway to becoming a seasoned expert in respiratory care, recognized and rewarded for your dedication and impact.
