About The Position

We’re looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who believes the most meaningful therapy happens beyond the clinic—in the real-life environments where communication, cognition, and confidence are rebuilt.
You’ll support individuals with neurological diagnoses as they improve speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing skills. Through compassionate, evidence-based care, you’ll help patients and families develop strategies that strengthen communication, independence, and quality of life at home and in the community.

By providing care in the home, community, workplace, or school, Rehab Without Walls promotes greater health through the recovery process, all with industry-leading outcomes that dramatically improve functional skills and independence for patients.
