Respiratory Therapist

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

This isn't your typical RT job.

For nearly 30 years, respiratory therapy has been missing from long-term care. We're bringing it back.

This is a new model of care — where you're not just treating symptoms, you're owning outcomes. You work with the same residents every day, track their progress, and build real relationships. No passing through like in a hospital. No hospital grind. Just respiratory care done right, with the time and autonomy to actually do it.

If you've ever wanted to see your impact over weeks and months instead of a single shift — this is it.

What you'll do

• Provide hands-on respiratory care — nebs, assessments, airway clearance, and more
• Track resident progress and adjust care plans over time
• Partner directly with nursing and physicians to improve outcomes
• Be the respiratory expert in the building

What you need

• Active state and national RT license in good standing (RRT or CRT)
• Graduate of an AMA-approved respiratory therapy program
• Current BLS (or within 30 days of hire)
• ACLS if working ventilator units (or within 6 months of hire)
• Strong clinical judgment, communication, and the ability to work independently

Why Banyan

• Consistent patients — you actually see improvement over time
• Autonomy — you're the respiratory lead in the building
• Support — we handle the backend (billing, scheduling, compliance) so you can focus on care
• Growth — help build something new in post-acute respiratory care
• Better pay 

The role, practically

• Setting: Travel between nearby partner facilities
• Schedule: Depends on FT/PRN status; 7 am - 7 pm shifts
• Physical: Frequent walking, standing, reaching and handling of respiratory equipment throughout the day

  Physical & Work Requirements

• Position requires walking for approximately 10–12 hours per day.
• Ability to lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds.
• Frequent reaching, bending, stooping, and manual handling of equipment.
• Work performed under varying temperatures and environmental conditions.
• Must be able to work evenings and weekends as required to meet operational needs.
• Ability to tolerate high-pressure and fast-paced clinical environments.
• Requires talking, hearing, seeing, and fine motor coordination for patient care and equipment management.

The bottom line This is relationship-based care with real outcomes. If you want to change how respiratory care is delivered in post-acute settings — apply. Banyan Pulmonary Services is an equal opportunity employer. We lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and innovate with purpose — ensuring every life we touch breathes easier. One Breath, One Team, One Act of Kindness at a Time.
