Educate families and caregivers to ensure ongoing support outside clinical visits, fostering progress and connection.
Participate in occasional inpatient evaluations and therapy, maintaining a seamless continuum of care.
Document patient progress meticulously, aligning with institutional and state requirements.

Preferred: Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) by ASHA.

Competencies Required
Expertise in evidence-based practices for treating age-related speech, language, and swallowing disorders.
Outstanding communication skills with patients, families, and team members.
Adept at customizing therapy techniques to suit the cultural and linguistic diversity of clients.
Strong clinical analysis and problem-solving capabilities.
Comfort using electronic health records and meeting documentation standards.
Employee Benefits
Competitive salary based on experience.
Flexible hours promoting work-life balance and diverse patient experiences.

Join Us in this Meaningful Journey
In this role, you will not only deliver speech therapy but will also become an integral part of a community-focused mission dedicated to restoring voices, enhancing communication, and facilitating transformative interactions through simple yet profound acts: understanding and being understood.
Here, you will collaborate with fellow clinicians who support one another like family, embodying a culture of cooperation rather than competition. Each patient you encounter possesses a unique narrative; we trust you to help craft those stories with care.
