Description

Respiratory Therapist (RT) at Banyan Pulmonary Services

This isn’t your typical RT job.

  • Better than Competitive Pay**
  • Referral Bonuses** Bring your favorite coworkers with you.

For nearly 30 years, respiratory therapy has been missing from long-term care.

We’re bringing it back.

This is a chance to step into a new model of care — where you’re not just treating symptoms, you’re owning outcomes.

You’ll work with the same residents every day, track their progress, and build real relationships — not just pass through like in a hospital.

If you’ve ever wanted to actually see your impact… this is it

What You’ll Do

  • Provide hands-on respiratory care (nebs, assessments, airway clearance, etc.)
  • Track progress and adjust care plans
  • Work directly with nursing physicians to improve outcomes
  • Be the respiratory expert in the building

What You Need

  • Active RT license (RRT or CRT)
  • BLS (ACLS if working with vents — can get after hire)
  • Strong clinical judgment and communication skills

Why Banyan

  • Consistent patients — actually see improvement over time
  • Autonomy — you’re the respiratory lead in the building
  • Support — we handle the backend so you can focus on care
  • Growth — help build something new in post-acute care

The Bottom Line

This isn’t a hospital grind.

This is relationship-based care with real outcomes.

If you want to change how respiratory care is delivered — apply.
