This multi-week assignment opens a powerful pathway to impact patient lives at the highest level of respiratory care, while immersing you in a region known for open skies, rugged beauty, and a welcoming community. Starting December 28, 2025, you’ll bring expert therapy to patients in critical settings, collaborating with physicians and multidisciplinary teams to deliver life-saving interventions. Picture yourself supporting families during challenging moments, guiding care with empathy, precision, and clinical excellence. Beyond the bedside, you’ll have the chance to explore Montana’s remarkable landscapes—rolling rivers, alpine vistas, and endless trails—that make this state a treasure for outdoor enthusiasts and quiet reflection alike. Helena’s historic charm, vibrant downtown, and access to wide-open spaces provide a unique backdrop for a career with purpose and balance.

Location benefits go far beyond the walls of any hospital. Helena combines the conveniences of a robust medical community with the relief of a smaller city vibe—less traffic, more time for community connections, and easy access to nature. You’ll work in a setting that values teamwork, continuous learning, and patient-centered care, where providers know your name and your expertise matters. And for those who crave variety, this opportunity also opens pathways to travel across the U.S. The role presents the chance to experience diverse clinical environments—from bustling urban facilities to smaller community hospitals—while maintaining a consistent standard of excellence. The exposure to varied patient populations will broaden your practice, strengthen your diagnostic acumen, and sharpen your leadership skills in high-stakes scenarios. Helena serves as a gateway to Montana’s majestic outdoors, with nearby alpine adventures that fuel resilience and rejuvenation after demanding shifts.

Role specifics and benefits form the core of this opportunity. As a Respiratory Therapist, you’ll perform comprehensive respiratory assessments, monitor and optimize ventilator support, manage chest therapies, administer airway clearance techniques, and interpret arterial blood gases to guide treatment decisions. You’ll lead weaning and liberation from mechanical ventilation where appropriate, participate in patient and family education, and collaborate closely with physicians, nurses, and rehabilitation teams to tailor care plans that improve oxygenation, ventilation, and overall outcomes. The position emphasizes professional growth within the respiratory specialty, offering access to CME activities, mentorship from seasoned clinicians, and the chance to advance into senior roles or specialty tracks such as neonatal or critical care, depending on facility needs. Competitive benefits are complemented by a sign-on bonus, housing assistance when needed, and opportunities to extend the assignment. You’ll receive robust support through a 24 / 7 travel service network designed to respond to clinical questions, schedule changes, and personal needs, ensuring you’re never navigating a challenge alone. With guaranteed 36 hours per week, you’ll enjoy a predictable baseline while still having room in your schedule for enriching experiences in Helena and beyond. The weekly pay range of $2,160-$2,269 reflects the value placed on your expertise and the critical role you play in patient recovery and family reassurance.

The company’s values center the staff’s empowerment and advancement. You’ll find a culture that invests in your career trajectory, fosters a collaborative and respectful workplace, and prioritizes professional development alongside compassionate patient care. Expect supportive leadership, ongoing performance feedback, and opportunities to contribute to process improvements that elevate patient outcomes.
