About This Role
You'll work with patients in a skilled nursing facility setting, providing speech and language therapy services on a part-time, as-needed basis. Your days will involve conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and delivering therapy to residents recovering from stroke, surgery, or other conditions affecting communication and swallowing. This PRN role offers scheduling flexibility, making it suitable for clinicians seeking variable hours or those balancing multiple positions. You'll collaborate with nurses, physical therapists, and other staff to coordinate resident care. The ideal candidate is a licensed SLP with strong clinical skills, the ability to work independently, and a patient-centered approach. Prior experience in skilled nursing or rehabilitation settings is valuable but experienced acute care therapists can transition successfully to this setting.

Frequently asked questions
What license do I need to apply?
An active state license in your discipline (PT, OT, SLP, LCSW, LPC, BCBA, etc.) in good standing. Therapy licensure is state-specific — the PT, OT, and ASLP-IC compacts let you practice in member states without a separate license.
Is this a school-year or year-round position?
School-based therapy roles typically follow a 9- or 10-month school-year calendar with summers off. Outpatient, hospital, home-health, and telehealth positions are year-round with PTO. Both options are widely available — check the job description for specifics.
What experience is expected?
Most therapy roles welcome new grads through mid-career clinicians. Specialty positions (acute care, NICU, pediatric feeding, hand therapy) typically prefer 2+ years plus relevant certifications.
