Position Summary
The Respiratory Care Practitioner (aka Respiratory Therapist or RT) with Montefino does more than provide essential direct medical care to their patients. Our RTs have smaller patient caseloads, in some cases working with a single patient at the assigned facility on a given shift. This allows RTs to apply their skills in more direct and intentional ways to contribute toward positive patient outcomes. RTs build meaningful relationships with the patient's loved ones, their care team, and most importantly, the patient to foster positive impacts on their daily lives.
Montefino RTs follow established standards and procedures, provide supervision, care, support, and training to individuals with Developmental Disabilities.

They possess knowledge of the industry/field, applicable state/federal laws (e.g. Title 17 & 22), and associated organizations and agencies (e.g. Regional Centers, Dept. of Social Services, Dept. of Development Services, State Council on Developmental Services, etc.). Successful candidates are enthusiastic in their efforts to expand upon their technical knowledge (e.g. dual Diagnosis, Individual Program Plans, emergency protocols, etc.), advocate for their patients, and are consummate professionals.
RTs maintain a safe, clean, and therapeutic environment that ensures respect, dignity, protects privacy, rights, and physical/emotional well-being to all residents. The RT possesses skills in organization, time management and analytical problem solving. Clear and effective written and verbal communication, interpersonal skills, multi-tasking, critical thinking and active listening skills and essential to success.
