$45 per hour

Shift Key

Build your own schedule. Take control of your career.

Looking for respiratory therapist jobs that fit your life? If you're tired of having no control over your schedule or just want to earn more money, part-time shifts could be what you're looking for! ShiftKey enables independent respiratory therapists like you to bid on per diem respiratory therapy shifts posted by a vast network of Facilities—all based on criteria you select. Choose the facilities you want, on days you want, and bid the rate you want.

  • Better work/life balance - Don't want to work nights? Need Mondays off? Only want to work once in a while? No problem. Use ShiftKey to work as little or as much as you like.
  • Extra income - Use ShiftKey to pick up shifts whenever you need a little extra money, even if you have another job. Get paid the next day with a PayCard or go with weekly direct deposit.
  • Pick the right environment for you - respiratory therapist shifts are a great way to experience a variety of facilities.

ShiftKey partners with Stride Health to allow healthcare professionals who use the ShiftKey App to access Stride's portable benefits platform for affordable healthcare options such as:

  • Health
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Life Insurance

Role Requirements:

  • A high school diploma or GED.
  • A valid respiratory therapist license in the state of Illinois.

About the Role:

You know better than anyone that respiratory therapists are essential members of a facility's medical team. Your role is to help patients treat and manage cardio-pulmonary disease and disorders. Here are a few things you might do:

  • Conduct, perform, and analyze pulmonary function tests.
  • Assist physicians and nurses in creating treatment plans.
  • Administer aerosol medications and provide chest physical therapy.
  • Teach patients how to use equipment and administer medications without assistance.

Here's what ShiftKey users have to say about us:

"By using the ShiftKey App, I choose to work on days that I need to and their customer service was very responsive when I reached out."

"I have been using ShiftKey for a couple of months. What I appreciate about this App is the flexibility. I love that you pick your own schedule. I'll definitely continue to use it."

"Using the ShiftKey App has helped me juggle work around my hectic grad school and mom life schedule!"
