Travel Speech Language Pathologist Job
Grand Junction, CO
Contracted
Community Hospital
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Speech Language Pathologist in Colorado's Grand Junction, where your expertise can reach patients across diverse settings while you explore the spectacular landscapes of the Centennial State. This is more than a contract—it's a chance to make lasting differences in communication, swallowing, and quality of life for children, adults, and aging populations. Picture mornings spent hiking the Grand Mesa, afternoons delivering care in clinics or hospitals, and weekends discovering red rock canyons and alpine charm that define Colorado. Grand Junction sits at the heart of Western Colorado, offering a vibrant community, excellent schools, and an inviting pace of life, with easy access to the unmatched natural beauty that makes this region a true magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. And for professionals who love expanding horizons, the opportunity to work in additional locations across the U.S. ensures your clinic and field experiences grow with you.
Location benefits: Working in Grand Junction means you’ll enjoy a cost of living favorable to many professionals, a robust network of healthcare partners, and a schedule that supports work-life balance. The region provides a growing medical community, access to top-tier facilities, and opportunities to collaborate with rehabilitation teams in skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics, and hospital-based services. For those who crave variety and adventure, there’s also the option to work across multiple U.S. locations on this program, expanding your clinical perspectives while you travel. The combination of a welcoming community and breathtaking outdoor possibilities—Colorado National Monument views, cascading river trails, and near endless seasonal activities—creates an environment where professional duties harmonize with personal exploration.
Role specifics and benefits: In this role you’ll evaluate speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders; design evidence-based treatment plans; deliver individual and group therapy; document progress and adjust interventions to optimize outcomes; and participate in multidisciplinary rounds to coordinate care. You’ll support pediatric and adult populations, tailoring strategies to age, diagnosis, and personal goals. Your growth trajectory includes access to mentorship from seasoned clinicians, opportunities to pursue specialty certifications, and ongoing feedback that strengthens clinical decision-making. The package highlights competitive compensation with a weekly pay range of $2,335 to $2,382, and guaranteed hours at 30 per week, aligning with a start date of 12/31/2025 and a contract that spans multiple weeks with extension possibilities. We also offer housing assistance to relieve settling-in concerns, a sign-on or completion bonus to acknowledge your commitment, and extensions that let you deepen your impact over time. Our comprehensive support network is designed for travelers: 24/7 assistance from dedicated coordinators, on-call clinical support, and robust administrative help so you can focus on patient care and professional growth. You’ll work with a supportive team that values your voice, encourages best practice, and invests in your well-being as you provide compassionate care across settings.
Company values: At the heart of our program is a commitment to empower staff—your career path matters here. We champion ongoing education, clear pathways to advancement, and a culture of collegial collaboration where experienced clinicians mentor newer ones. We recognize that your expertise elevates patient outcomes and strengthens the communities we serve. With a focus on safety, quality, and professional dignity, we foster an environment where clinicians thrive, feel heard, and see tangible progress in their practice.
Call to action: If you’re ready to blend clinical excellence with exploration and growth, apply today to join a company that honors your contributions and supports your professional development.
