Respiratory Therapist – Empower Patients to Breathe Easier at Home

Location : Chicago, IL

Schedule : Full-Time

Department : Home Health / Respiratory Care

About the Role

At home, healing feels different — and so does working here.

We are helping our client look for a Respiratory Therapist who believes that care doesn’t stop when a patient leaves the hospital. You’ll bring your clinical expertise and compassionate heart into patients’ homes, helping them manage their respiratory conditions safely and confidently where they feel most comfortable. From infants to seniors, our patients rely on us to provide the highest level of care and advocacy.

You’ll play a vital role in helping individuals regain independence, educating families, and ensuring every patient receives personalized, dignified care that improves quality of life — one breath at a time.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide in-home respiratory assessments, treatment, and follow-up care for patients with COPD, asthma, CHF, ventilator or tracheostomy needs, and other chronic respiratory conditions.
  • Educate patients and caregivers on equipment operation, oxygen safety, and preventive strategies.
  • Partner closely with nurses, physicians, case managers, and family to coordinate seamless transitions from hospital to home.
  • Monitor patient progress, report changes promptly, and support physician-directed Plan of Care / Treatment for optimal outcomes.
  • Serve as a trusted advocate and motivator — empowering patients to take control of their health journey.

What You’ll Bring

  • Current IL Respiratory Therapist license (RRT or CRT) and BLS certification.
  • Previous experience in home health, subacute, or pulmonary rehab is strongly preferred.
  • The ability to supervise clinical personnel and have a basic understanding of insurance requirements (Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance).
  • Comfortable working independently while maintaining strong collaboration with the care team.
  • A genuine passion for meeting patients where they are — literally and emotionally.

    • Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Consistent scheduling that supports stability and personal well-being.
  • Mission-driven culture focused on whole-person wellness and dignity.
  • Opportunities for career growth within the company.
  • Competitive pay with a sign-on bonus and a comprehensive benefits package.
  • The chance to build lasting patient relationships and see the direct impact of your care every day.
