Respiratory Therapist

ABOUT MY BEST HOMECARE My Best Homecare, Inc. (MBHC) is a Joint Commission-accredited DME provider headquartered in San Jose, California, with satellite locations throughout the state. Since 2005, MBHC has been a trusted provider of home respiratory equipment and clinical respiratory support for medically complex adult and pediatric patients - including those living with ALS, neuromuscular disease, spinal cord injury, and ventilator dependency. We are known for our depth of clinical expertise in home mechanical ventilation - both non-invasive and invasive via tracheostomy - and for our unwavering commitment to patient safety, caregiver education, and regulatory compliance. At MBHC, respiratory therapists are clinical partners, not just equipment delivery staff. THE OPPORTUNITY We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) to join our clinical team in a full-time capacity. This is a patient-facing home care role with significant clinical depth. You will deliver high-quality caregiver and patient education, perform equipment setups and evaluations in the home environment, and serve as a clinical liaison to referring physicians, ALS clinics, neurology practices, and hospital discharge teams. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Home Ventilator Management Perform initial setup, ongoing monitoring, and clinical assessment of home mechanical ventilators (invasive and non-invasive). Conduct routine in-home ventilator checks. Review ventilator download data and document clinical findings. Share on-call schedules with other RTs in responding to urgent patient needs and equipment troubleshooting. Patient & Caregiver Education Deliver comprehensive training to patients, family members, and other caregivers on safe equipment use, alarm management, circuit maintenance, and emergency procedures. Reinforce individualized education plans, particularly for newly discharged ventilator-dependent patients. Assess caregiver competency and document education in the patient record. Equipment Setup & Training Perform initial setup and follow-up visits as scheduled. Ensure proper interface fitting, mask selection, and circuit configuration. Complete and document all required CMS/Medicare order verification, delivery confirmation, and equipment logs per MBHC compliance policies. Physician & Clinical Liaison Collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient transitions and ongoing care at home. Communicate clinical findings and patient status updates to ordering physicians in a timely and professional manner. Participate in care conferences and multi-disciplinary team meetings as requested. Support MBHC's business development efforts by building and maintaining strong relationships with referral sources. QUALIFICATIONS Required Active Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential - CRT candidates with strong home care experience will be considered. Current California Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) license in good standing. Demonstrated clinical competency with mechanical ventilation (invasive and/or non-invasive). Clean and valid California driver's license and willingness to drive long distance for patient home visits. Strong patient and caregiver communication skills - ability to teach complex clinical concepts to non-medical audiences. Ability to work independently and exercise sound clinical judgment in the home environment. Preferred Experience with ALS, neuromuscular disease, pediatric ventilator, or tracheostomy patient populations. Familiarity with ventilator platforms such as Philips Trilogy, ResMed Stellar, Breas, or LTV series. Minimum 2 years of clinical experience, with at least 1 year in a home care, post-acute, or complex respiratory setting. WHAT WE OFFER Competitive salary commensurate with experience and credentials. Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision. Paid time off, sick leave, and California-compliant employee benefits. Ongoing clinical education, continuing education support, and professional development opportunities. A small, clinician-led organization where your expertise shapes patient care - not a large, impersonal corporation. #J-18808-Ljbffr
