Unlock your potential as a Speech Language Pathologist in the heart of California’s Lodi wine country, where your expertise will illuminate the voices and lives of patients across a spectrum of ages and settings. This is more than a contract—it’s an invitation to leave a lasting impact in communities that value compassionate care, innovation, and professional growth. Picture yourself collaborating with families, schools, and clinics to unlock communication, feeding, and cognitive skills that open doors to opportunity, learning, and meaningful connection. In addition to this rewarding work, you’ll have the chance to explore California’s scenic beauty—from rolling vineyards and sunlit orchards to charming downtowns and outdoor adventures—while delivering exceptional therapy that truly makes a difference. And for those who crave variety, there’s the opportunity to extend your impact by traveling to other locations across the United States, broadening your clinical experience and professional network.

Location benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity. Lodi offers a supportive, family-friendly environment with strong community ties, excellent schools, and a pace that fosters work–life balance. You’ll benefit from the region’s enriching culture, robust healthcare networks, and proximity to the broader Northern California experience—from the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area to the Sierra foothills and coastal escapes. The role also includes the possibility of assignments in diverse locations nationwide, allowing you to broaden your clinical exposure, meet new colleagues, and enrich your professional journey while continuing to serve patients with top-tier, evidence-based practice.

Role specifics and benefits define a role designed for growth, resilience, and impact. As a Speech Language Pathologist, you will evaluate and treat pediatric and adult patients with speech, language, voice, fluency, feeding, and cognitive-communication needs. You’ll develop individualized, data-driven treatment plans, set measurable goals, monitor progress, and adjust interventions to maximize outcomes. Collaboration is central—working with families, teachers, physicians, and other therapists to ensure consistency and generalization across environments. Documentation and compliance will be meticulous, with a focus on delivering high-quality care in hospital, clinic, school, or telehealth settings, depending on the assignment.

You’ll be supported every step of the way with competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $2,512–$2,632, recognizing your expertise and the value you bring to patients and teams. The contract is designed with flexibility in mind, starting on 12/01/2025 and spanning several weeks with opportunities for extension as needs align. While guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0, you’ll often have predictable schedules that reflect patient demand and site requirements, with possibilities for supplemental meaningful assignments. In addition to competitive pay, you’ll enjoy benefits that reinforce stability: housing assistance to ease relocation pressures, a bonus structure that acknowledges exceptional performance and impact, and extension opportunities to continue growing your clinical repertoire and professional standing. The arrangement emphasizes comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in a new clinical environment. Clear onboarding, ongoing mentorship, and access to continuing education resources help you stay at the forefront of evidence-based practice.

A core value of this organization is empowering staff to advance their careers while fostering a supportive culture. You will be encouraged to pursue skill development, lead interdisciplinary care efforts, and contribute to program enhancements that benefit patients and communities alike. The team is dedicated to creating an environment where feedback is welcomed, collaboration is integral, and your professional voice helps shape the future of speech-language pathology within the network. This approach not only elevates clinical outcomes but also enhances job satisfaction and personal growth.

Call to action: if you’re a motivated, compassionate Speech Language Pathologist ready to expand your horizons, this is your moment to apply. Join a company that values your clinical judgment, supports your career ambitions, and stands beside you with the resources you need to excel—where every patient interaction is an opportunity to inspire, educate, and empower. Begin your journey in Lodi, California, with the possibility of exciting assignments across the U.S., and help advance the lives of individuals and families through transformative communication therapy.
