Step into a pivotal, life-enhancing role as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) on a dynamic travel assignment in Helena, Montana. This opportunity puts your specialized expertise at the forefront of patient care, empowering you to influence outcomes for individuals navigating acute and post-acute respiratory needs. As you guide ventilator management, airway clearance, and complex therapy plans, you’ll partner with skilled teams to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care that truly moves the needle. In this role, your clinical leadership will be evident as you interpret respiratory data, tailor interventions, and educate patients and families. The work you do here will create lasting impact, while your skills continue to sharpen in a variety of clinical settings across the United States. And beyond the clinical rewards, Montana’s beauty invites inspiration: wide-open skies, the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the Missouri River corridor, and trails that beckon after shifts. Helena’s historic charm and access to outdoor adventure make it a uniquely restorative base for a demanding yet rewarding career. This assignment is designed to blend professional growth with the freedom to explore a state renowned for its artisanal culture, front-porch hospitality, and unmatched landscapes.

Location benefits extend well beyond a single city. Helena offers a supportive hospital network, modern equipment, and collaborative teams that value your expertise and autonomy. You’ll enjoy a stable schedule with guaranteed hours while enjoying the perks of a smaller metropolitan hub that still provides access to specialty services. For clinicians seeking broader horizons, this role also opens pathways to work at partner sites across the U.S., exposing you to diverse patient populations, hospital cultures, and care models. The Montana experience balances robust professional challenges with a high quality of life: clean air, outdoor recreation, safe neighborhoods, affordable housing options, and a sense of community that makes it easy to decompress after shifts. If you crave variety, you’ll also appreciate the opportunity to rotate through additional locations, absorbing regional best practices and expanding your professional network.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your success and advancement. Core responsibilities include comprehensive respiratory assessment and monitoring, ventilator integration and weaning, airway clearance therapies, bronchodilator and mucolytic administration, chest physiotherapy, aerosol therapy, humidification, humidified oxygen delivery, and collaboration with physicians, nurses, and allied staff to optimize patient care plans. You’ll participate in care rounds, contribute to evidence-based protocols, ensure accurate documentation in the EHR, and mentor junior technicians or students when applicable. The position offers meaningful opportunities to grow within the respiratory therapy specialty—pursuing advanced practice roles, leadership tracks, and cross-departmental training through the company’s education programs. Benefits include competitive compensation, with a weekly pay range of $2,107-$2,217, and guaranteed hours of 36 per week. A sign-on or completion bonus is offered, along with housing assistance to ease transition to Montana, and extension opportunities that enable continuity of care across assignments if you choose. In addition, you’ll gain access to robust support systems, including 24/7 assistance from our field team while you travel with the company. The combination of clinical breadth, financial stability, and structured development pathways makes this an ideal setting to refine your expertise and broaden your professional footprint. Note that the listed pay and hours are estimates and may vary; final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.

Company values and culture center on empowering staff to grow, learn, and advance.
