Location benefits:
Federal Way, Washington, is a welcoming hub with excellent access to healthcare facilities, schools, and community programs that value speech-language pathology services. Working here means you’ll contribute to preschool, school-age, and adult populations, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to champion effective communication across contexts. The Pacific Northwest environment supports a healthy work-life rhythm—short commutes, ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, and a culture that prioritizes work-life balance. You may also have the chance to work across other locations in the United States, gaining exposure to diverse caseloads and treatment approaches while returning home to the comfort and stability of Washington. Enjoy competitive benefits, modern clinics, and the chance to immerse yourself in a community focused on growth, inclusion, and excellence in patient care. The region’s temperate climate offers mild winters and lush summers, making it easier to pursue after-work activities, from kayaking along the Sound to scenic strolls along waterfront parks.

Role specifics and benefits:
As a Speech Language Pathologist in this travel-focused position, you’ll lead comprehensive assessments, develop evidence-based treatment plans, and deliver therapy across pediatric, school-age, and adult cases as assigned. Your responsibilities include evaluating speech, language, voice, fluency, feeding, and cognitive communication needs; designing individualized interventions; documenting progress and adjusting plans in collaboration with families and other professionals; providing caregiver coaching and strategies for home carryover; and ensuring compliance with licensure, clinical guidelines, and documentation standards. The role emphasizes ongoing professional growth within the specialty, with opportunities to specialize in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), pediatric articulation, pediatric language disorders, or adult neurogenic communication. You’ll gain exposure to diverse clinical settings, from clinics to school-based programs, with potential telepractice components to broaden your reach.
