Contracted
Hospital of University of Pennsylvania
Mid Level
Step into a transformative opportunity as a Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and join a leading travel healthcare program designed to magnify your impact and broaden your clinical horizons. As an integral part of our respiratory care team, you’ll apply advanced respiratory support, operate critical equipment, and collaborate with multidisciplinary colleagues to optimize patient outcomes. Your expertise as an RRT will guide ventilator management, airway clearance techniques, aerosol therapies, and arterial blood gas interpretation, all while fostering compassionate care that supports patients and families through challenging moments. This multi-week assignment begins on 04/06/2026 and offers a compelling pathway to deepen your clinical proficiency, expand your professional network, and experience the diversity of settings across the United States. Alongside the clinical rewards, envision the personal growth that comes from delivering patient-centered care in dynamic environments, where every shift reinforces your leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving acumen. And beyond the hospital walls, Pennsylvania reveals its own allure—historic neighborhoods, cultural vibrancy, parks, and culinary treasures—as well as opportunities to explore the scenic Pocono Mountains, charming countryside, and waterfront towns that dot the state's landscape. The blend of professional challenge and regional charm makes this a uniquely fulfilling chapter in your career.

Location benefits go beyond the city lights of Philadelphia. Working in PA offers you access to a thriving healthcare network with cutting-edge facilities, renowned teaching hospitals, and opportunities to collaborate with innovative clinicians. Philadelphia’s rich history and modern energy create a stimulating backdrop for your practice, with museums, sports events, and a diverse culinary scene nearby. For those who relish exploration, this assignment also opens doors to temporary postings across the U.S., allowing you to experience varied hospital cultures, patient populations, and clinical protocols—each assignment sharpening your skill set and expanding your professional footprint. In addition to robust clinical exposure, you’ll enjoy a competitive weekly pay range of $2,153 to $2,255, with guaranteed hours of 36 per week, ensuring financial stability as you plan housing and daily living arrangements. We support your transitional needs with housing assistance and offer extension opportunities, enabling you to build lasting relationships with facilities that value your expertise. And because traveling can present logistical challenges, you’ll have access to 24/7 support from our dedicated traveling team, ensuring you’re never navigating a shift alone and that you have reliable resources whenever questions arise.

Role specifics and benefits form the core of this opportunity. As an RRT in a high-demand specialty, you’ll conduct thorough patient assessments, develop and implement respiratory care plans, adjust ventilator settings, wean strategies, and deliver successful weaning trials in conjunction with physicians. You’ll document care plans, monitor patient responses, and participate in rounds and family communications to provide clear, compassionate updates. The role emphasizes professional growth within the respiratory therapy specialty, offering exposure to acute care, ICU, and step-down unit dynamics, as well as opportunities to refine PICC lines, tracheostomy care, and non-invasive ventilation strategies. Our compensation structure is designed to recognize your expertise and dedication, featuring a weekly pay range that reflects your valuable contributions, plus a bonus landscape, housing assistance, and the possibility of contract extensions. You’ll be supported by a comprehensive framework—orientation, ongoing education, standard operating procedures, and best practices—paired with 24/7 assistance while you travel with the company. The combination of competitive pay, supportive onboarding, and clear pathways to extended assignments reinforces a stable, rewarding trajectory for clinicians who seek sustained impact and professional advancement.

Company values center on empowerment, growth, and a supportive culture.
