$5000 Sign on bonus

The Enclave at Port Chester Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Port Chester, NY is hiring a full time Speech Language Pathologist to join our rehabilitation team. Hiring for this role is done on site by our Director of Rehab and facility leadership, not by an outside recruiter. You will interview with the people you will actually work with.

We are part of a growing network of 35 skilled nursing facilities, which means real clinical support behind you and real places to go from here.

Why This Speech Therapy Role Is Different

• Interdisciplinary by design. SLP, OT, PT, nursing team, dietitian, respiratory, social work, and MDS work from the same plan and the same table. Your dysphagia recommendations reach the people carrying them out.

• A training environment. New graduates and CFY candidates are welcome. You get structured mentorship, hands on orientation, and ongoing clinical education from clinicians who want to teach.

• Leadership that is present. Our Director of Rehab and facility administration are invested in where you want to be in five years and will talk with you about it regularly, not only once a year at review time.

Growth you can actually reach. A 35 facility network that is still expanding means specialty program development, mentorship roles, and leadership tracks, including:

• Dysphagia and modified diet program leads

• Dementia clinical focus champions

• Respiratory champions and step down

• Assistant director and lead or senior therapist ladder programs

Work life balance is an operating priority. Tell us the schedule you need, and we will work with you to build it. Our residents come first, and happy therapists equal happy patients.

What You Will Do

• Evaluate residents to determine communication, cognitive, and swallowing status, including specialized evaluations as indicated

• Complete evaluations, progress notes, recertifications, and discharge documentation accurately and on time

• Supervise students in accordance with state regulations

• Participate in quality assurance programs and comply with infection control, universal precautions, and OSHA standards

What You Will Need

• Current New York license or certification, or license eligible. CFY candidates welcome
