Contracted
Westminster Village Dover
Mid Level
Step into a rewarding travel role as a Speech Language Pathologist in Dover, Delaware, where your clinical expertise will illuminate the path to better communication and swallowing safety for patients across diverse care settings. This is more than a assignment—it’s a chance to shape lives through evidence-based evaluation, thoughtful treatment planning, and collaborative care that enhances daily participation, independence, and quality of life. As you bring your passion and precision to therapy, you’ll experience the satisfaction that comes from helping individuals—children and adults alike—overcome communication barriers and preserve their dignity in every interaction. Beyond the impact at the bedside, you’ll discover a state and a community ripe with charm: the quiet beauty of Delaware’s coastlines, the historic appeal of Dover’s streets, and the outdoor portraits painted by Cape Henlopen’s coastline and lush state parks. Picture weekend strolls along the shores of Rehoboth Beach, savoring seaside sunsets, or exploring museums, gardens, and farmers markets that showcase the area’s welcoming spirit. Delaware’s compact size makes it easy to weave memorable explorations with meaningful clinical work, while the broader region offers easy access to major urban hubs, cultural events, and opportunities to expand your professional network.
Location benefits are compelling. Dover provides a supportive healthcare ecosystem, with proximity to exceptional medical centers, educational institutions, and family-friendly communities. You’ll enjoy a balanced pace that supports your clinical focus and personal well-being, with the flexibility to rotate to other locations across the U.S. to broaden your clinical repertoire. This role invites you to work with multidisciplinary teams, serve a wide range of patient populations, and experience the variety that travel assignments deliver—without sacrificing the stability of a dedicated schedule or the assurance of comprehensive onboarding and credentialing support. In addition to dynamic onsite experiences, you’ll gain exposure to different care environments, payer landscapes, and therapy approaches, enriching your practice and sharpening your problem-solving skills, all while staying rooted in a welcoming Delaware setting.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Your responsibilities will span the full spectrum of speech-language pathology duties: conduct thorough assessments, develop and adjust individualized treatment plans for articulation, language, voice, fluency, and swallowing, deliver targeted therapy sessions, document progress in compliance with regulatory standards, and communicate clear recommendations to families, teachers, nurses, physicians, and other care team members. You’ll monitor outcomes, modify plans based on data, and advocate for patients’ communication access as well as safe swallowing strategies. With caseload management, you’ll prioritize needs, ensure timely follow-ups, and participate in team rounds and care conferences to align goals across disciplines.
- You’ll have professional growth opportunities across pediatric and adult populations and across care settings—including inpatient, outpatient, and rehabilitation contexts—allowing you to refine specialization within the SLP field and broaden your clinical toolkit.
- This opportunity offers competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $2,194-$2,288, plus a bonus structure designed to recognize excellence, dedication, and patient outcomes. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation logistics, and there are clear extension opportunities to continue your impactful work with the same supportive team. You’ll also benefit from robust 24/7 support while traveling with the company, ensuring you have reliable resources and guidance whenever you need them.
- Comprehensive support throughout your assignment includes credentialing assistance, onboarding that accelerates your readiness, access to professional development resources, and a culture that emphasizes collaboration, respect, and shared success. You’ll work with a team that values your voice, welcomes your ideas, and encourages ongoing learning to advance your career in speech-language pathology.
