JCR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT·Fort Myers, Florida
The role involves setting up and managing respiratory equipment such as ventilators, CPAP/BiPAP, and oxygen in patients' homes. It also requires educating patients and caregivers and maintaining documentation that meets CMS and ACHC standards.
Respiratory Therapist (RRT / CRT) – DME / Home Health Miami, FL Full-Time, or Per Diem
We’re looking to bring on an experienced Respiratory Therapist to support our DME and home-based respiratory program. This role is hands-on and field-based, working directly with patients in their homes—many of whom are medically complex and require a higher level of respiratory support.
Our patient population ranges from pediatric to adult, including ventilator-dependent individuals. Because of that, we are specifically looking for someone who is comfortable with ventilator setups and ongoing management in the home setting.
You’ll be going into patients’ homes to set up and manage respiratory equipment—oxygen, CPAP/BiPAP, and ventilators. A big part of the role is making sure everything is set up correctly from the start, including circuits, alarms, and safety checks.
You’ll also spend time educating patients and caregivers. That includes walking them through how to use the equipment, what to do if something isn’t working, and how to handle emergencies. Follow-up visits are just as important—making sure the patient is tolerating therapy, the equipment is working properly, and nothing has changed clinically.
Documentation is part of the role as well, especially making sure everything supports medical necessity and aligns with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements and accreditation expectations like Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).
This is not a desk job. You’ll have a lot of independence, but also the support of a clinical team behind you. If you enjoy working directly with patients and making a real difference—especially in more complex cases—you’ll find this role rewarding.
We’re growing, so there’s also room to expand your role over time if that’s something you’re looking for.
If you’re interested, send over your resume and we can set up a time to talk.
Work Location: In person
Candidates must have an active Florida RRT or CRT license, current BLS and PALS certifications, and required experience in ventilator setup and management. Ability to work independently in the field and strong communication skills are essential.
