Respiratory Care Specialist, Sleep & Cardiopulmonary Services

Washington State | Full-time | Rehabilitation-focused hospital setting

Some respiratory roles are routine. This one gives you a chance to work at the intersection of cardiopulmonary care, sleep medicine, patient recovery, and team leadership.

This is a strong opportunity for a respiratory care professional who enjoys hands-on patient care but also wants more ownership than a standard bedside role. You'll support patients of all ages, work through complex cardiopulmonary needs, and step into a role where your judgment, initiative, and clinical follow-through matter every day.

What you'll do?

• Help patients maintain or restore cardiopulmonary function by delivering respiratory care in line with physician orders, department protocols, and clinical standards
• Support sleep study-related care and testing, using your respiratory background and technical judgment to help guide accurate, patient-centered services
• Apply protocols and procedures to real clinical situations, including cases that require critical thinking, adaptability, and problem-solving
• Serve in a charge-style capacity at times, helping provide direction and support to a small team while staying close to patient care
• Work with patients across age groups in a rehabilitation-focused environment where respiratory care plays a meaningful role in recovery and quality of life

Why you should consider this role?

• This is a great fit if you want more than a task-based respiratory role and enjoy using both clinical skill and independent judgment
• You'll be part of a patient-centered environment built around whole-person care, collaboration, and respect for the voice of caregivers
• Eligible candidates may receive strong sign-on support, and relocation assistance may be available for those making a move
• The benefits package is designed to support your health, financial security, professional growth, and long-term stability
• For someone who wants to keep growing, this type of environment can offer exposure to more than one lane of respiratory care, including hands-on patient care, sleep medicine, technical testing, and charge-style team support

Who can be successful in this role?

• A graduate of an approved Respiratory Care program who is licensed, or able to be licensed, as a Respiratory Care Practitioner in Washington
• Someone with recent sleep study technology experience who enjoys the technical side of respiratory care and wants to keep growing in that space
• A respiratory care professional with BLS through the American Heart Association and the ability to complete a Sleep Disorders Specialty credential within the required timeframe
• Someone who is comfortable taking initiative, adjusting to changing patient needs, and applying clinical standards to situations that are not always black and white
• A steady, team-minded caregiver who can support patients, collaborate with colleagues, and step into light charge responsibilities when needed
