Transport Respiratory Therapist

Ventilated and unstable patients during inter-facility and intra-facility transport.

Who you'd be caring for

Ventilated and unstable patients during inter-facility and intra-facility transport.

What the shift actually looks like

Ventilated and unstable patients moved between facilities or to imaging, in confined space with limited resources. Independent judgement with no immediate backup.

What to ask before you accept

Ground versus air, patient population, transport vent platform and additional clearance requirements.

We put those questions to the facility at intake so you get a straight answer before you commit, not after your first shift.

Why this role is in demand

Air transport requires additional clearance and training and is not interchangeable with ground transport experience. For you, that is leverage — the narrower the skill set, the smaller the pool you are competing against and the better the assignments you get offered.

Travel, per diem or permanent?

Travel and local contract suit respiratory well because winter volume is predictable and contracts booked ahead pay better than scrambles in January. Per diem works if you want control over your calendar. Permanent if you want to build depth in one department.

Working with us

We tell you the rate, the unit and the shift pattern before you commit, and we ask permission before every single submittal — you will never find out you were put forward somewhere after the fact. One recruiter handles you from the first call through to your last shift.

Placement is always free to you. Our fee is paid by the facility. Join the network and we will only call you when something genuinely fits.
