You know what it takes to keep the most complex patients stable. But somewhere along the way, the 12-hour rotating shifts, the revolving door of patients, the overall burnout and the distance from meaningful outcomes started to wear on you. This respiratory model was built for clinicians like you seeking flexibility, less intensity, yet still meaningful care. What This Role Actually Is As a Respiratory Therapist in our Field/Office team, you'll carry a dedicated caseload of ventilator-dependent pediatric and ALS patients — in their residencies, on their terms. You're the clinical expert who bridges the gap between the hospital and home, ensuring these patients and their families have everything they need to stay safe, stable, and out of the ER. You'll be the person they call. The one who knows their equipment, their history, and their family by name. Why This Role Stands Out Monday-Friday, 8:00-5:00 — no nights, no weekends, no rotating shifts Autonomy to manage your own caseload and territory — you're trusted as the expert Deep, longitudinal relationships with patients and families — you'll see your impact in real time Work that blends critical care expertise with education, advocacy, and genuine human connection Get out of the hospital without leaving clinical practice behind What You'll Do Manage and monitor a caseload of home ventilator-dependent patients (pediatric and/or ALS) Perform comprehensive respiratory assessments and reassessments in the home setting Provide hands-on ventilator and equipment training to patients and caregivers Set up, troubleshoot, and optimize highly technical respiratory equipment Serve as the primary clinical liaison between patients, families, and physician teams Support care coordination and continuity across the full care team Maintain accurate clinical documentation per regulatory standards What You Bring Active, unrestricted RRT or CRT License (Georgia) Experience with pediatric and/or ALS ventilator management (required) Tracheostomy care experience (required) Critical care, PICU, or home health respiratory background — ideal Familiarity with ventilator platforms such as Care Orchestrator or Astral — a plus Valid driver's license and willingness to travel within your assigned territory A clinician who communicates well, works independently, and genuinely cares about outcomes Compensation & Benefits Competitive hourly rate on experience + sign-on bonuses + mileage reimbursements Full medical, dental, and vision coverage 401(k) with company match Paid time off and paid holidays Life and disability insurance Employee assistance and wellness programs This is a rare opportunity for a respiratory clinician ready to trade shift work for something with more depth, more autonomy, and more meaning — without stepping back from the clinical complexity that keeps you sharp. #GHRsearch25
