Overview

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) - Neuro Home & Community

This is not a traditional clinic-based speech therapy role. We are hiring a Speech-Language Pathologist to deliver neuro-focused rehabilitation in home and community settings where communication, cognition, and swallowing challenges show up in real life.

You will help patients rebuild the ability to communicate, think, and participate in daily life after neurological injury or illness.

• Full schedule flexibility and autonomy
• 1:1 focused patient care
• Neuro rehab specialization
• Paid hourly + documentation time

Who we are looking for

• You are ready to treat your patient beyond a staged environment into real life experiences like cooking in their kitchen, navigating grocery stores, restaurants, outdoor activities, and the workplace
• You thrive in an autonomous setting, and value being a part of a collaborative team of dynamic therapists

What you will receive

• Flexible Schedule Created by You
• Paid per hour (not just per visit)
• Driving, Travel, Mileage Reimbursement
• Educational Programs
• Growth/Advancement Opportunities

Responsibilities

• Perform evaluations and develop treatment plans of patients with speech, language, cognitive and swallowing disorders
• Regularly re-assess effectiveness of treatment plans, attend staffing meetings and family conferences
• Perform discharge evaluations, make appropriate recommendations for home and community safety, and provide referral and education resources
• Communicate patient's needs and progress to the treatment team, physician, person receiving services and family members
• Communicates with other disciplines to ensure collaboration, coordination of care and enhance patient outcomes

Qualifications

• Minimum of a Master’s Degree from an accredited Speech Language Pathology program
