position.  Details of the signing bonus can be discussed during the interview.

Job Description

Norco is seeking a dedicated Respiratory Therapist / Clinician to join our
patient-focused, community-based care team.  This is a unique opportunity for
licensed clinicians who want to use their respiratory expertise outside of the
hospital setting - in a role with predictable scheduling, meaningful one-on-one
patient interactions, and a supportive team environment.

Unlike traditional hospital RT roles, this position offers

* Standard Monday - Friday schedule

If you enjoy building relationships, educating patients, and helping individuals
thrive safely at home, this role is a great fit!

of respiratory and rehabilitation equipment.  Responsibilities include:

* Evaluate patient needs and coordinate the ordering and setup of Category II
and III respiratory equipment
* Work directly with patients, physician, therapists, insurance companies, and
referral sources to ensure optimal equipment solutions
* Perform evaluations in homes, clinics, nursing facilities, and hospitals
* Provide product education and demonstrations to patients and healthcare
partners
* Support Norco's Quality Improvement Program and participate in ongoing
clinical excellence initiatives
* Troubleshoot oxygen and respiratory equipment during business hours and as
needed during limited on-call periods
* Collaborate with customer service teams to coordinate respiratory-related
discharges
* Promote Norco's services to referral sources and the healthcare community
* Perform other tasks as needed to support patient care and company goals

What Makes This Role Different

* Predictable schedule with most work occurring Monday - Friday
* No rapid-response or high-acuity hospital pressures
* Time to educate, connect, and truly support patients
* A stable, long-term career path with a company that invests in its employees
* Employee-owned culture where your work directly contributes to shared success

Qualifications

* CRTT, RRT, RN, LPN, RPSGT or eligible for any of the preceding
* State license, as required
* Valid driver's license
* Strong communication and customer service skills
* Ability to learn new equipment and technologies quickly
* Ability to lift 25 - 40lbs occasionally
* Previous home care experience preferred
* Ability to work compassionately with diverse patient populations
