This contract opportunity for several weeks beginning 04/06/2026 invites you to apply your advanced skills in ventilator management, airway clearance techniques, bronchodilator therapy, and patient assessment to support medical‑surgical floors, ICU overflow, and post‑operative recovery areas. With guaranteed 36 hours per week and competitive weekly pay ranging from $2,171 to $2,292, you’ll enjoy secure earnings while delivering consistent, high‑quality respiratory care.
Massachusetts is a tapestry of natural beauty and cultural vitality, and North Adams sits at its heart. From the forested trails and dramatic ridges of the nearby Berkshires to the vibrant arts scene at Mass MoCA and intimate performances in charming venues, the region invites downtime that refreshes the mind after demanding shifts. In your off days you can explore mountaintop vistas, scenic rivers, and historic towns that showcase New England charm, making long assignments feel like a rewarding journey rather than a routine. The state’s seasonal colors, farmer’s markets, and accessible coastline within a short drive complement the rewarding work you’ll do in health care.
Choosing North Adams means joining a community that values work‑life balance and professional growth. You’ll experience the advantage of stable housing assistance when needed, travel support that keeps you connected with a dedicated 24/7 help desk, and access to extension opportunities that turn a temporary assignment into an ongoing relationship with the company. For clinicians who relish variety, the program also offers the possibility to work in other locations across the U.S., broadening your clinical exposure, expanding your professional network, and advancing your respiratory therapy specialty in diverse settings.
Core responsibilities include performing and supervising comprehensive respiratory care, conducting patient assessments, initiating and adjusting ventilator parameters, administering aerosolized meds, airway clearance therapies, and chest physiotherapy, monitoring patient responses, and documenting outcomes in electronic medical records. You’ll collaborate with physicians, nurses, and therapists to develop and implement care plans, escalate concerns promptly, and educate patients and families about therapies and equipment. The role provides a clear path for professional growth within the Registered Respiratory Therapist specialty, with opportunities to gain experience in critical care, weaning protocols, nocturnal shifts, and rapid‑response support. Benefits emphasize recognition and security: competitive compensation, a sign‑on or performance bonus where applicable, robust housing assistance, extension options for continued work beyond the initial contract, and a comprehensive support network including 24/7 travel assistance, eligibility for professional development programs, and access to mentorship resources.
At the core of the company is a commitment to empower staff, nurture career advancement, and cultivate a collaborative, supportive work environment. You will find a culture that prioritizes clinical excellence, open communication, and ongoing training to keep you at the forefront of respiratory care. The team fosters autonomy balanced by accountability, ensuring you feel valued for your expertise and your contributions to patient recovery and hospital operations.
