SV-Lakeshore Village Healthcare Center
Mid Level
Introduction:
Step into a rewarding mission as a Speech Language Pathologist in Texas, Waco, beginning December 22, 2025, on a dynamic weeks-long travel assignment designed to leverage your expertise where it’s most needed. This is your chance to apply evidence-based evaluation and therapy to diverse populations, helping people rediscover the power of clear communication, confident swallowing, and meaningful participation in daily life. From infants and children navigating speech and language milestones to adults overcoming acquired communication challenges, your skills will create tangible, lasting impacts. As you embark on this journey, you’ll experience the beauty and vitality of Texas—from the family-friendly charm of Waco’s riverwalk and local parks to the state’s sweeping landscapes, rolling hills, and lakes that invite exploration during downtime. The Lone Star State offers a rich blend of culture, community, and outdoor adventure, while the travel model opens doors to even more places across the U.S., expanding your clinical horizon and enriching your professional story.
Location Benefits:
Waco blends warmth, affordability, and easy access to both city amenities and outdoor retreats. You’ll be part of a supportive health network that values collaboration with physicians, educators, and therapists, ensuring a cohesive approach to patient care. The region’s strong emphasis on community health presents ongoing opportunities to refine your diagnostic and therapeutic skills through multidisciplinary teamwork, clinical rounds, and evidence-based practice. Beyond Waco, the travel component of this opportunity invites you to experience a spectrum of settings across the United States—urban clinics, hospital programs, and community health centers—each offering unique caseloads and learning environments. Alongside professional growth, you’ll have chances to savor Texas’s beautiful places—the hill country scenery, lakeside trails, scenic drives, and vibrant local culture—while maintaining a flexible schedule that respects your work-life balance. With guaranteed hours and consistent weekly compensation, you’ll enjoy predictability and stability within a travel framework that still honors your need for variety and professional challenge.
Role Specifics and Benefits:
In this role, you’ll perform comprehensive speech, language, voice, fluency, and swallowing assessments, interpret results, and design individualized, evidence-based treatment plans aligned with ASHA standards. Your responsibilities include delivering direct therapy to pediatric and adult populations, implementing medically appropriate interventions, and documenting progress in electronic medical records with attention to privacy and accuracy. You’ll collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams, including educators, physicians, and speech-language pathology assistants, to ensure seamless care transitions and consistent outcomes across settings. You may also provide supervision for students or junior clinicians, contributing to a culture of learning and mentorship. The position emphasizes professional growth within the specialty—from refining diagnostic acumen and advancing therapy techniques to pursuing specialty certifications or continuing education credits that keep you at the forefront of clinical practice. Benefits include a competitive weekly pay range of $2,317-$2,456, with guaranteed 36 hours each week, and the assurance of a short-term, contract-based schedule designed for travel flexibility and clinical intensity. You’ll also receive housing assistance to simplify relocation logistics, plus extension opportunities that allow you to extend your impact and continue collaborating with the same team or explore new environments. A dedicated, 24/7 support network stands ready to assist you while you travel, ensuring smooth onboarding, problem resolution, and real-time guidance whenever needed. This is a chance to grow not only in your clinical mastery but also in leadership, collaboration, and adaptability—core competencies that define exceptional speech-language pathology practice.
Company Values:
Our organization is grounded in empowering our staff to advance their careers within a supportive, patient-centered culture. We champion lifelong learning, mentorship, and opportunities for professional advancement, recognizing the expertise you bring and investing in your continued growth. You’ll join a team that values open communication, ethical care, and compassionate service, where clinical excellence and work-life balance go hand in hand. From onboarding to ongoing development, the environment is designed to foster confidence, autonomy, and the trust that your patients—and you—thrive.
Call to Action:
