Job description

As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, our residents are looking for fresh starts! As our Staff Speech-Language Pathologist, you'll help our residents reclaim their voice, master safe swallowing (so they can enjoy every bite of warm pumpkin pie!), and boost their cognitive-linguistic skills. You'll be the warm cup of cider for our therapy team - guiding families, collaborating with docs, and keeping our facility staff inspired all season long.

What You'll (Your Harvest of Duties)

• Gather the Care Plan: Evaluate residents to pinpoint their speech, language, and swallowing needs, crafting custom therapy plans that bring back their seasonal smiles and independence.
• Pumpkin Pie Safety Inspector: Recommend adaptive gear, teach aspiration prevention strategies, and ensure everyone can safely enjoy holiday meals and autumn treats.
• Coach the Crew: Team up with Nursing to train Restorative Aides, run fun staff in-services, and guide our energetic Clinical Fellows (CFY) and SLP students.
• Keep the Team in the Loop: Gather around the table with physicians, nurses, and families for care conferences, rehab huddles, and discharge planning.
• Dot the i's & Cross the t's: Keep documentation fresh, accurate, and prompt in systems like Net Health and PointClickCare.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Credentials: Bachelor's in Speech-Language Pathology plus an active state SLP license in great standing.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable navigating PointClickCare and Net Health as easily as a corn maze.
• Autumn Energy: Top-notch communication skills, practical math for clinical needs, and sharp problem-solving skills to navigate any puzzle.
• Heavy Lifting: Ready to stand, walk, reach, and lift (sometimes pumpkin-heavy loads over 50+ lbs!) using safe handling practices to keep residents moving safely.
