About This Role
As a Speech Pathologist at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital, you'll work directly with patients recovering from stroke, brain injury, and other conditions affecting communication and swallowing. Your days involve conducting assessments, developing treatment plans, and delivering one-on-one therapy sessions in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. Both full-time and PRN positions are available, giving you flexibility in how you structure your schedule. You'll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team including physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physicians to support comprehensive patient recovery. This role suits speech pathologists who want hands-on clinical work with measurable patient outcomes and prefer working in a structured hospital environment rather than private practice or schools.

Frequently asked questions
How does PRN therapy work?
PRN (per diem) therapists pick up shifts or visits as needed without a fixed weekly schedule. Some employers require a minimum number of shifts per month; home-health PRN is typically paid per visit.
Does PRN pay more than full-time?
Yes — PRN hourly and per-visit rates are typically 15–35% higher than full-time staff rates, since the role doesn't include benefits or guaranteed hours.
Are benefits included?
Most PRN therapy roles do not include health benefits or PTO; the higher rate offsets that. Some larger systems offer benefits at higher commitment tiers.
