Job Description
- SLP — Join a Prava-Powered Practice | Senior Living
- What if your next SLP job came with a built-in clinical mentor?
- At Prava, we're rethinking what it means to practice therapy in senior living.
- This opportunity is a little different.
- You'll join a Prava-powered practice led by an experienced clinician who is deeply embedded in the community, passionate about senior living, and especially strong in memory care.
- That means you won't be practicing in isolation.
- You'll have someone who understands the clinical realities of senior living, understands the residents you're serving, and is invested in helping you grow as a clinician.
- A different kind of clinical environment
You'll Have the Opportunity To
- Work alongside a Practice Owner who is actively embedded in the community and involved in resident care
- Receive ongoing clinical mentorship and support
- Collaborate with a clinician who brings particular expertise in memory care and dementia
- Develop your clinical reasoning in a setting where therapy is connected to the resident's everyday life
- Build relationships with residents, families, caregivers, and community leadership
- Practice with greater autonomy while knowing you have experienced clinical support when you need it
- Be part of a team that values thoughtful clinical decision-making over a “treat and move on” approach
- Use Prava's technology to reduce administrative burden and give you more time for residents
- We believe great SLP care goes beyond the treatment session.
- In senior living, communication and swallowing don't exist in a vacuum.
- They affect dining, social connection, safety, participation, relationships, confidence, and quality of life.
- That's why we want our SLPs to be part of the community—not simply a provider who comes into it.
- You'll have the opportunity to understand the resident beyond the diagnosis, collaborate with the people who know them best, and bring your clinical expertise into the places where it can make the greatest difference.
- And you'll have a clinical mentor who gets it.
- One of the things we hear from therapists is that they want someone to learn from.
- Someone who will talk through a challenging resident.
- Someone who will push their clinical reasoning.
- Someone who understands dementia care.
- Someone who can say, “Let's think about this differently.”
- That's what this Practice Owner brings to the table.
- You won't be expected to figure everything out alone.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an SLP who is:
- Curious and clinically thoughtful
- Passionate about working with older adults
- Interested in dementia and memory care
- Comfortable collaborating with interdisciplinary teams
- Motivated to continue growing clinically
- Someone who values relationships as much as clinical skill
- Excited by the opportunity to help build something rather than simply step into something already established
Why Prava?
- We built Prava because we believe therapists deserve a better way to practice.
- Less administrative burden.
- Better technology.
- Stronger clinical support.
- More meaningful relationships with residents.
- And a practice model designed around the clinician—not the other way around.
- Come work with a clinician who can help you become an even better one.
- Join a Prava-powered practice and experience what senior living rehabilitation can look like when great clinicians, strong clinical leadership, and the right technology come together.
- Apply today.
