Clinical Speech Language Pathologist
Transform Lives through Communication in Beautiful Long Beach, California – Join Us
Imagine being the voice of purpose in someone's life — both literally and figuratively. As a Clinical Speech Language Pathologist situated in one of California's dynamic coastal cities, you'll embark on a rewarding journey that goes beyond simply treating communication and swallowing challenges. Your expertise will be the key to unlocking potential, instilling confidence, and fostering deep connections, whether it's a child speaking their very first words or an elder regaining their ability to share their stories.
This role offers a distinctive chance to make a meaningful impact on individuals of all ages in a blended setting of outpatient therapy and occasional inpatient support. Whether your passion lies in pediatric speech development, adult neurogenic communication rehabilitation, or cognitive-linguistic therapy for seniors, there's ample opportunity for professional satisfaction and adaptable working conditions.
Conduct thorough evaluations of patients spanning pediatric, adult, and geriatric demographics utilizing a variety of standardized assessments and observational approaches.
Create tailored treatment plans that cater to both short-term objectives and long-term communication or swallowing aspirations.
Deliver personalized speech therapy interventions, emphasizing communication, language skills, fluency, voice modulation, and dysphagia.
Engage with physical therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, physicians, caregivers, and families to formulate integrated care strategies.
Provide education and resources to patients and their families to support their progress outside the clinical environment.
Assist with sporadic inpatient speech therapy assessments and interventions, ensuring seamless continuity of care throughout treatment.
Maintain comprehensive and accurate documentation in compliance with state, federal, and institutional regulations.
Stay abreast of the latest advancements in the discipline through ongoing education and collaboration with peers.
A Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an accredited institution.
Completion of a supervised Clinical Fellowship Year (CFY) if ASHA certification is pending.
Valid state license as a Speech Language Pathologist.
Preferred Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) from ASHA.
Basic Life Support (BLS) certification required within 30 days of hire.
Mastery of evidence-based therapy practices for all age groups and a robust understanding of both developmental and acquired speech, language, and swallowing disorders.
Exceptional interpersonal skills for effectively engaging with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
Ability to modify therapy methods to accommodate a wide spectrum of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Strong clinical insight and problem-solving aptitude.
Proficient in using electronic medical records and adhering to documentation guidelines.
Attractive salary aligned with experience.
Flexible work schedules promoting work-life harmony and varied caseloads.
Opportunities for specialization, whether in pediatrics, adult neuro rehab, or geriatrics.
Generous paid time off (PTO) and holiday compensation.
Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance choices.
Support for continuing education and career advancement.
A collaborative, team-driven environment focused on quality patient care and lifelong learning.
In this position, you will not merely offer speech therapy; you'll join a mission dedicated to restoring voices, enhancing communication, and fostering joy through understanding. Here, you'll collaborate with a dedicated team that treats one another with familial respect, within a space that champions cooperation over competition. Each patient brings a narrative; we're excited to have you help narrate it.
