  • Maintain accurate records and monitor patient progress throughout their therapy.

Qualifications:

  • Licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (or eligible for licensure in the respective state).

  • Strong communication skills and a compassionate approach to patient care.

  • A passion for working with patients of all ages, including pediatric and geriatric populations.

  • Ability to build connections within a rural community and work in an environment that fosters close-knit relationships.

  • A desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families in rural settings.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
