Job description

Speech Therapist: Clinical Fellowship Supervisor

At 21st Century Home Health Services (21HHS), we treat every patient with the same empathy, compassion, and understanding we would show our own family. With more than 600 employees, we are the largest home health agency in San Francisco and the fastest‑growing in the Bay Area. Today we care for more than 4,000 patients across San‑Francisco, San‑Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Napa, Yolo, Placer, El Dorado, and Sacramento counties— and we are actively expanding into Marin and Sonoma counties. Our clinicians are dedicated not only to the patients they serve, but also to one another. Hospital readmission rates at 21HHS consistently remain under 10%, compared to an industry average of over 15%.

We have been recognized as a 2024 Top Workplace and a San Francisco Chronicle Top Workplace for the Bay Area, among other national recognitions. Patient and employee feedback on Yelp, Google, Glassdoor, and Indeed further validates our commitment to quality care and workplace excellence.

• Collaborate with clinical coordinators and other healthcare professionals to facilitate clinical experiences and learning opportunities for clinical fellows.
• Ensure compliance with certification and licensure requirements for clinical fellows.
• Facilitate discussions and case reviews to promote clinical reasoning and evidence‑based practice among clinical fellows.
• Coordinate and participate in meetings, seminars, and workshops to support the professional growth and development of clinical fellows.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation related to clinical fellowship supervision and progress evaluations.
