Job Description

Help people find their voice—literally.

We’re looking for passionate Speech-Language Pathologists who want to work one-on-one with clients where it matters most: at home. Whether you’re fresh out of grad school or already experienced, this role is all about using your skills to support real communication breakthroughs—and building real relationships along the way.

What You’ll Do

  • Provide speech and language therapy to children, adults, or both (depending on your preference)
  • Assess communication, swallowing, and cognitive-linguistic needs
  • Design fun, effective, personalized treatment plans
  • Coach families and caregivers so your work sticks outside of sessions
  • Track progress and celebrate wins (big and small) with your clients

This Might Be You If

  • You’re a licensed (or license-eligible) Speech-Language Pathologist
  • You’re compassionate, creative, and love connecting with people
  • You’re into personalized, quality care—not cookie-cutter programs
  • You enjoy working independently and setting your own pace
  • You’re down to drive a bit (locally) and bring the care to them

Why You’ll Love It

  • Freedom + Flexibility: Set a schedule that works for your life
  • Impactful Work: One-on-one sessions = focused care and meaningful results
  • Growth Support: Mentorship, CEU help, and specialty pathways (AAC, dysphagia, pediatrics, etc.)
  • Chill Team Energy: You’ll be supported, not micromanaged
  • Life Balance: No late nights, no back-to-back chaos, just rewarding work

Communication is everything. You can help someone get theirs back.

Your work helps people connect with loved ones, succeed in school or work, and feel seen. That’s huge. If you’re ready to put your heart and skills to work—outside the office—let’s talk.

Apply now and help people say what they need to say.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct comprehensive assessments of clients' speech and language abilities.
  • Develop and implement individualized treatment plans.
  • Educate clients and their families on communication strategies.
  • Collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure holistic care.
  • Maintain accurate records of client progress and therapy sessions.

Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
  • Current state licensure in Michigan.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Experience in a clinical or home health setting preferred.
  • Compassionate approach with a commitment to client-centered care.
  • 401K Retirement Plan
  • Ability to earn PTO
  • Medical Benefits Available for all 30+ hourly employees
  • Excellent Pay
  • Employee Appreciation program
  • Rewarding Work Environment
  • Paid General Orientation
  • 24/7 staffing support
