Registered Respiratory Therapist
Florida Treasure Coast · Posted Apr 24, 2026 · Job ID LB-1163
An acute care hospital in the Florida Treasure Coast is hiring a Registered Respiratory Therapist. This is a placement managed by Lela Boom Consulting Group.
About the role
As an integral member of the patient care team, the Respiratory Therapist performs comprehensive patient assessments — evaluating breath sounds, airway patency, and cuff pressure — and conducts diagnostic procedures to determine the need for and response to respiratory therapy. The clinician administers respiratory care therapies including oxygen delivery, aerosol medication delivery, and chest physiotherapy, and assists with the placement of artificial airways. A significant focus of the role involves initiating, monitoring, and maintaining invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation, as well as supporting the safe transportation of ventilator-dependent patients. The Respiratory Therapist monitors patients for therapeutic response, notifies providers of unintended responses, and intervenes appropriately, including responding to emergent situations to ensure airway integrity and adequate ventilation during resuscitation.
