Job Description

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

Part-Time | Cambridge Village of Wilmington | Wilmington, NC

Communication. Cognition. Connection.

What if your SLP practice could be about more than treating a diagnosis?

At Prava, we believe speech-language pathology in senior living should help people communicate, participate, connect, and continue living independently.

We're looking for a part-time Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to join our team at Cambridge Village of Wilmington.

This is an opportunity for an SLP who wants the flexibility of a part-time role without sacrificing clinical quality or connection to the people they serve.

  • Your work will matter beyond the therapy session.
  • You may work with a resident who is having difficulty finding words.
  • Someone whose cognition has changed.
  • Someone who is struggling to safely manage meals.
  • Someone who has become less confident communicating with friends.
  • Someone whose cognitive changes are beginning to affect their independence.
  • Your job isn't simply to treat the impairment.
  • It's to help the person keep participating in life.

What You'll Do

Evaluate residents and develop individualized plans of care

Provide Skilled Speech-language Pathology Services

  • Address communication, cognition, swallowing, and related functional needs within your scope of practice
  • Help residents maintain independence and participation
  • Provide education to residents, families, and caregivers
  • Collaborate with nursing, caregivers, wellness staff, and other members of the interdisciplinary team
  • Identify changes in communication, cognition, or swallowing that warrant clinical attention
  • Incorporate functional, real-world activities into treatment
  • Document efficiently using Prava's modern technology and AI-enabled tools
  • Contribute to a culture that values clinical excellence and meaningful outcomes
  • Senior living is your clinical laboratory.
  • A therapy session doesn't have to look like a therapy session.
  • It might happen at the dining table.
  • During a conversation.
  • While navigating a community activity.
  • While practicing a real-world cognitive strategy.
  • While helping a resident develop strategies to remain safely independent.
  • The best intervention is often the one that transfers into everyday life.

We're Looking for an SLP Who

  • Holds a current North Carolina SLP license
  • Has ASHA certification or meets applicable requirements
  • Has a genuine interest in working with older adults
  • Is clinically confident and highly collaborative
  • Has strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Thinks beyond the diagnosis
  • Understands the importance of functional outcomes
  • Can work independently while staying connected to the interdisciplinary team
  • Wants a flexible role with meaningful clinical impact
  • Senior living experience is a plus, but not required.

Why Prava?

  • Prava was built specifically around rehabilitation in senior living.
  • You'll have the infrastructure of a growing organization while maintaining the autonomy of a clinician.
  • Modern technology.
  • AI-enabled documentation.
  • Clinical standards and support.
  • Operational infrastructure.
  • An embedded community model.

And Most Importantly

A philosophy that puts the resident—not the diagnosis—at the center of care.
