Job Description

Overview

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) – Neuro Home & Community

 

Why clinicians love this role:

• Flexible scheduling with full control over your week

• Paid hourly + paid documentation time
• Mileage reimbursement + drive time paid ( manageable and thoughtful coverage areas - no road warriors here - we keep you local!)

What sets this role apart:

• Full schedule flexibility and autonomy
