The Role We're looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist to support patients with communication, cognitive, and swallowing needs in their homes and communities.

All clinicians are expected to take part in the firm's accreditation activities and surveys as part of maintaining our quality standards. What You'll Do Conduct comprehensive speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing evaluations. Develop and implement individualized treatment plans. Provide dysphagia management and swallowing safety recommendations. Monitor patient progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Collaborate with RNs, PTs, OTs, and other members of the care team. Complete evaluation, progress, and discharge documentation in a timely manner. Educate patients and family members on communication strategies and home programs. Participate in case conferences and firm accreditation activities and surveys. What You Bring Active NJ Speech-Language Pathologist license (or CFY candidate) in good standing. Home care, rehabilitation, or I/DD experience preferred. Comfort working independently in a remote-first workflow, with reliable transportation for in-person visits. Strong documentation habits and clear communication with patients, families, and the care team.
