Job DescriptionAnswer the call to make a lasting impact as a Registered Respiratory Therapist in Watertown, New York. This travel assignment invites you to bring advanced respiratory care to diverse patient populations, guiding families through critical moments and helping patients regain breath and hope. As a Respiratory Therapist in this role, you’ll blend clinical expertise with compassionate communication, supporting teams across settings from acute care to telemetry, and leading interventions that improve outcomes and quality of life. Your skills will shape daily lives, from stabilizing patients in crisis to enabling steady recovery, and you’ll gain the autonomy to apply evidence-based practice while collaborating with passionate clinicians who share your commitment to exceptional care. The opportunity to work in New York’s scenic landscapes adds a backdrop of inspiration to your professional journey, whether you’re exploring the historic villages along the Black River or unwinding in the Adirondack foothills after a shift. Watertown offers a welcoming, patient-centered community with access to outdoor recreation, excellent schools, and a balanced pace of life. You’ll enjoy stable, predictable schedules, opportunities to engage with patients and families, and a supportive local network that values your expertise. The region’s waterways, parks, and cultural offerings provide refreshing breaks between patient care, helping you recharge and stay focused during demanding rotations. In addition to this rewarding base, the role also provides the chance to be placed at assignments across the United States, enabling you to broaden your clinical horizons, experience different hospital cultures, and deepen your mastery of respiratory therapy in varied settings. This combination of a solid home base with travel opportunities creates a versatile career path that strengthens your clinical confidence while expanding your professional footprint. Role specifics and benefits: As a travel Respiratory Therapist, you will assess and respond to patients’ respiratory needs through a full spectrum of care. Expect to manage ventilated patients, perform weaning protocols, tailor oxygen delivery and humidification strategies, monitor ABGs, adjust therapy plans, and collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and other therapists to optimize outcomes. You’ll provide chest physiotherapy, airway clearance techniques, and bedside education for patients and families, translating complex information into understandable care plans. The position supports ongoing professional growth through exposure to diverse clinical populations, specialties, and equipment, with pathways to develop subspecialty expertise in ICU, NICU, or pulmonary rehabilitation, along with opportunities to lead quality improvement initiatives and evidence-based practice projects. The compensation package emphasizes competitiveness, including a sign-on or welcome bonus, comprehensive housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions to align with your career goals. You will have 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team and clinical supervisors, ensuring you never navigate a complex case alone. A steady schedule is part of the package—guaranteed 36.0 hours per week—with a weekly pay range of $2,154-$2,239, and the flexibility to adapt to patient flow and unit needs. Start date is 12/22/2025, and contracts run for multiple weeks with excellent opportunities for extension. This opportunity also celebrates the beauty and diversity of New York. From the serene waterfronts and historic downtowns of Watertown to the thriving artistic communities in nearby regions, you’ll find inspiration around every corner. The state’s diverse landscapes invite weekend explorations—from lakeside strolls and early autumn foliage to regional fairs and farmers markets that celebrate local culture. The combination of professional fulfillment and regional charm makes this assignment not only a career milestone but a chance to savor the quality of life that New York offers.
