About The Position

Rehab Without Walls Neuro Rehabilitation is hiring a PRN/per-diem Speech-Language Pathologist to provide neuro-focused rehabilitation in patients’ homes and community settings. The role supports adults rebuilding communication, cognition, swallowing, and participation in daily life following neurological injury or illness. Care is delivered through one-to-one, functional treatment rather than a traditional clinic-based model. The role offers localized patient routes matched to the regional hub closest to the clinician’s home base: the Portland area; Augusta and Waterville area; Thomaston area; or Dexter and Bucksport area. Scheduling is designed to cluster visits within the assigned hub. Clinical treatment and on-site documentation are paid at the clinical rate, and qualifying drive time between patients is separately paid at $40 per hour, with mileage reimbursement. Documentation is completed on-site during paid treatment blocks. The position offers flexibility in weekly schedule and caseload size. The posting also describes protection of income for last-minute patient cancellations. Compensation details in the posting include clinical and on-site documentation pay of $55–$60 per hour, dedicated drive-time pay of $40 per hour, and a separate listed salary range of $45–$55 per hour. Mileage is reimbursed. A $10,000 sign-on bonus is mentioned for select full-time salaried roles in regional hubs, not specifically for this PRN role. Rehab Without Walls, an affiliate of BrightSpring Health Services, provides neurorehabilitation in natural home and community environments. Its program serves people who have experienced brain injury, spinal cord injury, or stroke/CVA, helping them regain functional capabilities, independence, and participation in daily life.
