Say Goodbye to Contract Company Burnout!  

Are you a passionate Speech-Language Pathologist who loves working with the geriatric population but is tired of unrealistic productivity metrics and endless corporate red tape? 

At  Royal Fairhaven , we do things differently. We are proud to operate a 100% in-house therapy department . That means you work directly for our facility, collaborating closely with a dedicated interdisciplinary team that prioritizes patient outcomes over corporate quotas. Come build meaningful relationships with your patients and actually enjoy going to work! 

What You’ll Be Doing:  

As our full-time SLP, you will be the cornerstone of our speech, swallowing, and cognitive therapy programs.

• Certification: Certificate of Clinical Competence (ASHA CCC-SLP) is highly preferred. (Strong CFYs with a passion for adult/geriatric rehab will be considered!)  

• Experience: Previous experience in a SNF or adult rehab setting is a plus, but a collaborative mindset and passion for patient care are what matter most. 

• Skills: Strong clinical reasoning, empathy, and excellent communication skills. 

Why You’ll Love Working With Us (The Perks!):  

Because we are in-house, we invest directly in  YOU .
