Job description
SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST (SLP) - Home Health
SummitWest Care | Mesa County, CO
PRN | Flexible Schedule
Competitive Hourly Pay (DOE) + Mileage Reimbursement
Use Your Expertise When It Matters Most.
SummitWest Care is seeking a compassionate Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to provide one-on-one care throughout Mesa County on an as-needed basis.
Home health offers a unique opportunity to work directly with patients in their own environment, helping them improve communication, cognition, swallowing, and overall quality of life where they are most comfortable.
As a PRN Speech-Language Pathologist, you'll enjoy flexibility while remaining connected to a supportive interdisciplinary team. While referrals may vary throughout the year, your expertise is invaluable when patients require speech therapy services. This role is ideal for clinicians seeking supplemental income, schedule flexibility, or an opportunity to maintain a rewarding home health caseload without committing to a full-time schedule.

One-on-one patient care with time to assess, educate, and build meaningful therapeutic relationships
Provide therapy where it matters most in the patient's actual living environment
Improve quality of life through communication, cognitive, and swallowing interventions
Flexible PRN scheduling that works around your existing commitments
Clinical autonomy with the support of an experienced interdisciplinary team
Strong collaboration with nurses, therapists, physicians, caregivers, and office staff
Mission-driven nonprofit organization focused on patient outcomes rather than productivity metrics
Responsibilities
Perform speech-language pathology evaluations, reassessments, recertifications, and discharges
Assess and treat speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders
Develop and implement individualized treatment plans based on patient goals and clinical needs
Educate patients, caregivers, and family members on treatment recommendations and home exercises
Collaborate with physicians, nurses, therapists, caregivers, and other members of the care team
Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment plans as appropriate
Recommend compensatory strategies, adaptive techniques, and safety interventions when needed
Complete accurate and timely clinical documentation
Participate in interdisciplinary care planning to support optimal patient outcomes
Qualifications
Current Colorado Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) license in good standing
Master's Degree from an accredited Speech-Language Pathology program
Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred
Strong clinical assessment, communication, and documentation skills
Experience with adult and geriatric populations preferred
Ability to work independently in a home health environment
Excellent time-management and organizational skills
Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance
Home health experience is a bonus, but not required!
