About The Position

Rehab Without Walls is hiring a Speech-Language Pathologist to provide neuro-focused rehabilitation in patients’ homes and community settings. The role addresses communication, cognition, and swallowing challenges after neurological injury or illness, helping patients regain functional abilities and participate in daily life. Services may support cognitive-communication recovery, speech and language rehabilitation, swallowing and functional safety, and real-world communication.

This is not a traditional clinic-based role. It offers flexible scheduling, clinical autonomy in treatment planning, focused one-to-one care without double booking, and a neuro-focused functional caseload. Compensation is hourly, with paid documentation time, mileage reimbursement, and paid drive time. Coverage areas are kept local.

Rehab Without Walls provides care in home, community, workplace, or school settings as part of a continuum of care for people primarily affected by brain injury, spinal cord injury, or stroke/CVA. Its program aims to help patients regain functional capabilities, health, and independence.
