The Opportunity

Join Unicare Health, a leading, innovative supplier of life-sustaining respiratory equipment and services dedicated to serving severely ill patients. Our mission is built on a comprehensive, compassionate service model that prioritizes superior patient outcomes. As we prepare for rapid expansion throughout California and neighboring states, we are seeking dedicated Respiratory Therapists to provide high-touch clinical care in a home setting. This is a critical role responsible for managing complex respiratory patients and ensuring their transition from hospital to home is seamless and safe.

Key Responsibilities
  • Patient Assessment & Care: Conduct in-home respiratory assessments, treatments, and follow-up care for complex patients with chronic conditions such as neurologic disease, ALS, cystic fibrosis, COPD, asthma, CHF, and those requiring ventilator or tracheostomy support.
  • Equipment Instruction & Safety: Responsible for the setup, instruction, and education of patients and caregivers on the proper use of respiratory equipment, including ventilators, oxygen, and CPAP/BiPAP systems.
  • Clinical Coordination: Communicate with physicians regarding changes in patient conditions and carry out necessary adjustments to the Plan of Care (POC).
  • Documentation & Compliance: Complete all patient account paperwork, including clinical assessments and treatment plans, ensuring all practices adhere to JCAHO standards and company policies.
  • Emergency & On-Call Support: Provide 24-hour on-call service as scheduled and perform emergency visits to resolve equipment issues or patient needs.
  • Patient Advocacy: Serve as a liaison between the company, physician, and family, empowering patients to manage their health journey effectively.
Qualifications
  • Education & Licensing: Graduate from an accredited Respiratory Therapy program with a current California Respiratory Care Practitioner (RCP) license. RRT or CRT certification required.
  • Experience: Minimum 3 years experience as a Respiratory Therapist is required. Experience in in-patient, home health care, subacute care, or pulmonary rehabilitation is strongly preferred.
  • Technical Proficiency: Thorough knowledge of respiratory care equipment (ventilators, oxygen concentrators, etc.) and basic computer skills for electronic charting.
  • Interpersonal Skills: Excellent customer service and communication skills with a genuine desire to help others and the ability to deal with difficult situations with equanimity.
  • Physical Requirements: Must be able to lift up to 75 lbs and possess a valid driver’s license for travel throughout Southern California.
Compensation & California Compliance
  • Salary Range: $33.00 to $60.00 per hour, commensurate with experience and skill set.
  • Note: In accordance with California’s Pay Transparency Act, the actual salary offered will be based on internal equity, geographic location, and the candidate’s specific skill set.
  • Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); and Paid Time Off (PTO).
  • Work Environment: This role requires the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, visiting patients in their homes across LA, Ventura, and Orange Counties.
