Job description

Our Purpose

We strive to help each patient reach their highest level of medical independence by delivering equipment and services seamlessly, with exceptional care.

Role Summary

As Clinical Services Manager- Respiratory Therapy, you will lead and standardize clinical education that supports safe, consistent home respiratory care and DME services across the organization. This role exists to strengthen competency, documentation quality, and regulatory readiness while elevating patient and caregiver understanding.

Key responsibilities

Key responsibilities include designing and delivering onboarding and ongoing training for Respiratory Therapists and applicable staff; building competency tools, checklists, and reference materials; serving as the respiratory therapy subject-matter resource (oxygen, PAP, NIV, aerosol and airway clearance therapies); supporting patient/caregiver education standardization; and partnering on quality reviews, audits, and policy/protocol updates.

A Typical Day

Your day is anchored by planned learning: you start by reviewing training schedules, recent competency results, and any documentation trends that need reinforcement. You may deliver a small-group session, then shift to hands-on demonstrations where staff practice setup, cleaning, and troubleshooting on respiratory and DME equipment.

Between sessions, you refine slide decks and quick-reference guides, update competency records, and coordinate with operations and clinical leaders to align education with current standards. When additional support is needed, you help ensure patient and caregiver materials are clear and consistent, and you may provide targeted instruction to improve confidence and adherence.

You close the day by logging completed education, preparing for upcoming orientations, and tracking follow-ups so training stays timely, auditable, and practical.
