As a Speech Language Pathologist in one of the most dynamic cities in the South, your expertise goes beyond treating speech and swallowing disorders; you’ll play a part in illuminating paths to connection, self-expression, and confidence for individuals of all ages — from children speaking their first sentences to seniors exploring new ways to articulate their thoughts.

• Exceptional interpersonal skills for effective communication with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
• Adept at adapting therapy methods to cater to various cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
• Sound clinical judgment and problem-solving skills.
• Comfortable working with electronic medical records and maintaining high documentation standards.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Flexible work scheduling to support personal and professional balance.
