Greater Danbury, CT | Salaried | No Productivity Quotas | 1:1 Care | Leadership & Growth Opportunity Attain Physical Therapy is building something special in Connecticut—and we're looking for the right Speech-Language Pathologist to help lead it. We are seeking a Full-Time Regional Speech-Language Pathologist to support three closely located senior living communities in the Greater Danbury area: Maplewood at Stony Hill | Maplewood at Danbury | Maplewood at Newtown All three communities are located within approximately 15 minutes of one another , allowing you to build a regional caseload without spending your day driving between distant locations. This is more than a full-time treatment position. We are looking for an SLP who wants to provide exceptional patient care while helping us develop, grow and shape Speech Therapy programming across our expanding Connecticut market. As the program grows, so can your role. What Makes This Position Different?
No Productivity Quotas. Seriously. We don't believe excellent therapy should be reduced to chasing a productivity percentage. This is a salaried position designed to give you the ability to provide excellent care, collaborate with your team, communicate with families and community staff, complete your documentation appropriately, and participate in program development without constantly watching a productivity clock. 45-60 Minute, One-on-One Treatment Sessions Our model is built around individualized care. No group treatments. Patients receive dedicated, 1:1 Speech Therapy sessions typically lasting 45-60 minutes , allowing you to actually evaluate, treat, educate and progress your patients rather than moving from one abbreviated encounter to another. An Interdisciplinary Team Is Already Waiting for You You will work alongside established Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy teams throughout the region. You aren't being hired to walk into three buildings alone and figure everything out yourself. You'll have therapists around you, interdisciplinary collaboration, clinical leadership and organizational support as you establish and grow the Speech Therapy program. Build the Program—Don't Just Inherit a Caseload We want an SLP who is excited by the opportunity to help shape a program. In addition to direct patient care, you'll have the opportunity to participate in: Speech Therapy program development Dysphagia and swallowing initiatives Cognitive-communication programming Memory care programming Staff and caregiver education Interdisciplinary clinical initiatives Community education Referral development Clinical quality initiatives Development of best practices as our Connecticut market expands Maplewood at Stony Hill is a dedicated memory care community , creating an especially meaningful opportunity to develop Speech Therapy programming focused on cognition, communication, swallowing, caregiver education and quality of life for individuals living with dementia. A Real Opportunity for Advancement We are actively growing our Connecticut market. We're not looking for someone simply to fill today's caseload. We want to find an SLP who can become an important part of what this program looks like tomorrow. As our Speech Therapy presence expands, there will be opportunities for increased responsibility, program leadership and advancement within Attain. If you've ever wanted the opportunity to help build a clinical program rather than simply work inside someone else's , this is that opportunity. Clinician-Led Means Something Here Our clinical leadership is tangible and accessible. Our leaders understand what it means to treat patients because they remain directly involved in clinical operations, mentorship, documentation, program development and patient care. You will have people you can actually call. You will have clinical support when you encounter a difficult case. You will have mentorship when you want another clinician's perspective. And you'll have leadership that knows who you are, understands your program and is invested in helping you succeed. Across Attain, we emphasize: Clinical excellence Evidence-based practice Therapist autonomy and clinical judgment Individualized, patient-centered treatment Functional outcomes Strong documentation and Medicare compliance Interdisciplinary collaboration Mentorship and clinical support Professional development Program development Leadership opportunities Who You'll Treat Our clinicians work with older adults with a broad range of diagnoses and functional needs, including: Dysphagia and swallowing disorders Cognitive-communication impairment Dementia and memory-related disorders Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions Stroke Speech and language disorders Voice disorders Functional communication deficits Changes in cognition affecting safety and independence You'll collaborate with PT, OT, nursing, physicians/providers, community leadership, caregivers and families to develop plans of care that are clinically meaningful and relevant to each resident's daily life.
