Mid Level
Launch your career as a Traveling Speech Language Pathologist and make a meaningful difference in communication and quality of life for clients across diverse settings. In this specialty you’ll blend clinical excellence with compassionate care, empowering individuals to find their voice, regain independence, and participate fully in daily life. As you step into this multi-week assignment, envision the unique impact you can have—from early language milestones in children to supportive interventions for adults navigating aphasia and swallowing challenges. And as you explore Massachusetts, you’ll also have the option to extend your reach to other locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizon while delivering consistent, high-quality therapy. The Berkshire region welcomes you with a landscape of rich culture, outdoor adventures, and charming communities that reflect the spirit of New England—where fall foliage paints the hills, museums and theaters enliven weekends, and hiking trails reveal panoramic vistas at every season.
Massachusetts, and Pittsfield in particular, offers a compelling blend of professional opportunity and lifestyle appeal. Pittsfield sits in the heart of the Berkshires, an area renowned for its scenic beauty, seasonal festivals, and rich arts scene. Living here means easy access to cultural venues, farmers’ markets, and family-friendly outdoor recreation, all within a short drive of Boston and other New England hubs. Working in Pittsfield gives you the chance to establish meaningful relationships with a welcoming local community, while the broader Massachusetts landscape provides you with varied clinical experiences and opportunities to collaborate with specialists across disciplines. If you’re drawn to a dynamic travel role, you’ll also have the chance to work in additional locations across the U.S., broadening your professional network and sharpening your clinical repertoire.
Role specifics and benefits:
- Core responsibilities: As a Speech Language Pathologist on assignment, you’ll evaluate communication and swallowing disorders across pediatric and adult populations, develop and implement individualized therapy plans, and monitor progress with evidence-based approaches. You’ll address expressive and receptive language, articulation, fluency, voice, and feeding/swallowing needs, adapting strategies to each client’s goals. Collaboration is essential: you’ll partner with physicians, teachers, caregivers, and interdisciplinary teams to coordinate care, optimize outcomes, and ensure smooth transitions between settings. Documentation in electronic medical records will reflect clinical reasoning, treatment progression, and measurable outcomes. You’ll also contribute to care planning, participate in case conferences, and share knowledge with colleagues to elevate the program’s standard of care.
- Professional growth: This role prioritizes development within Speech-Language Pathology. You’ll have access to ongoing training, mentorship opportunities, and niche certifications—such as AAC implementation, childhood language intervention, or adult communication rehabilitation. Telepractice options may be available to extend your reach and flexibility, enabling you to refine your skills across diverse populations and practice environments.
- Benefits and support: The assignment offers a competitive compensation package. Weekly pay ranges from $2,433 to $2,621, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week. A sign-on bonus and housing assistance are included to ease relocation and start-up costs. There is also potential for extension opportunities, allowing you to continue your travel career with continuity and stability. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, travel coordinators to streamline logistics, and a robust human resources framework to address questions and needs as they arise.
- Work environment and safety: Expect a supportive, team-oriented culture that values your expertise and your well-being. The organization is committed to empowering staff through clear career pathways, regular feedback, and opportunities to contribute to program development. You’ll operate in settings that prioritize best practices in patient safety, clinical integrity, and professional respect, all while maintaining flexibility to balance personal and professional commitments.
Start date and contractual details:
- Start Date: February 23, 2026
- Duration: Multi-week engagement with potential extension based on performance, patient needs, and site requirements
- Location: Primarily Pittsfield, Massachusetts, with potential openings in other U.S. locations as part of a travel assignment
