Respiratory Therapist
   
Extrakare is a leading local HME company with local management and ownership.  We supply all needs for home bound patients but our primary focus areas are oxygen, CPAP and nebulizers for adults in a home environment. We are based in Norcross, GA and serve the following counties: Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fayette, Forysth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry & Rockdale.  We are a high-growth organization and seek candidates that thrive in a team-based environment. 

In a market dominated by national providers, we are able to differentiate ourselves by being flexible and responsive to the needs of our patients, referral sources and employees.  In addition, for our ambulatory oxygen patients, we exclusively use Invacare’s Homefill II system.  This system allows ambulatory patients to fill their cylinders from their own oxygen concentrator.  Using this system, patients are happier and referrals sources prefer to send their patients to where they will be happiest!

The normal working hours for the position are 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM.  This is a great opportunity to get out of the hospital environment but not the medical field.  Success in this position is measured based upon patient and physician satisfaction.

The primary responsibilities in this position are:

• Visiting patients at their homes to insure that equipment has been installed properly and that patients have been appropriately trained on use of the equipment.
• Provide follow-up information to physicians about patient progress.
• Review patient issues with management to develop proper patient follow-up.

All candidates should have the following experiences:

• Associates or higher degree.
• Current credentialing as a CRT or a RRT.
• Valid Georgia respiratory therapy license.
• Must be able to lift 50+ pounds on an occasional basis.
• Basic understanding of computer skills to complete daily reports and create effective follow-up communications via mail and email.
• Must have a valid driver’s license.
• Must be able to pass a pre-employment drug screen.
• Must have high-speed Internet connection at home.
• Must have a reliable vehicle in excellent condition for business use.

In addition to the job requirements above, the ideal candidate will also have the following preferred experiences:

• Experience with oxygen concentrators, liquid oxygen, CPAP, BiPAP, nebulizers and pulse oximeters.
• Bachelor or higher degree.

Mileage is reimbursed at $0.40 per mile driven.
