Step into a transformative opportunity as a Speech Language Pathologist in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, starting 01/12/2026 for a multi-week assignment crafted to empower you to unlock communication, confidence, and connection for patients across the lifespan. In this specialty, your expertise goes beyond articulation and phonation; you’ll help individuals develop the essential skills to participate fully in school, work, social life, and everyday moments. You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design, implement, and refine evidence-based interventions that honor each patient’s strengths and goals. This role offers you a platform to advance clinically, innovate treatment plans, and witness the measurable impact of one’s practice on families and communities. If you’re passionate about elevating communication, this is your moment to contribute meaningfully while growing within a supportive, forward-thinking organization. And if you seek inspiration outside the clinic, New Mexico’s sunlit skies and expansive landscapes offer a perpetual wellspring for creativity and resilience.
New Mexico is a place where stunning beauty and rich culture meet practical opportunity. Rio Rancho sits just a short drive from Albuquerque, offering a family-friendly environment, thriving local arts, and a climate that welcomes outdoor exploration year-round. Picture mornings in canal-side parks, afternoons hiking volcanic mesas, and evenings savoring local cuisine in vibrant neighborhoods. Beyond your daily work, you’ll easily access the state’s renowned desert scenery, breathtaking canyons, and communities that celebrate warmth and collaboration. For those who value variety, there are also opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, broadening your clinical exposure while maintaining the same commitment to quality care. You’ll gain exposure to diverse patient populations, program models, and care settings, all while enjoying the distinctive charm of the Southwest and the rich history that shapes its approach to health and well-being.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your clinical excellence and professional trajectory. As a Speech Language Pathologist, you’ll assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, cognitive-communication, voice, and swallowing disorders. You’ll develop individualized therapy plans, monitor progress with data-driven methods, and document outcomes in alignment with best practices and regulatory guidelines. Collaboration with otolaryngology, pediatrics, early intervention, school-based services, and rehabilitation teams will enrich your professional scope and enrich your caseload. You’ll have the chance to mentor junior clinicians, participate in quality improvement initiatives, and contribute to program development that enhances patient access and outcomes. The package includes a competitive weekly pay range of $2,260-$2,292, with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week, ensuring dependable income as you plan your commitments. In addition, you’ll have access to a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend the assignment based on performance and project needs. Our comprehensive support network is designed to keep you thriving on the road, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, travel logistics, licensure support, and seamless onboarding. We understand the importance of stability, so you can focus on clinical excellence while we handle the rest of the travel and logistics.
Our commitment to your career goes beyond the assignment. The company places a strong emphasis on empowering staff, fostering an environment where your clinical judgment is respected, your learning is supported, and your career path is clear. Expect mentorship from seasoned professionals, access to continuing education resources, and structured opportunities to advance within the specialty through leadership roles, specialized certifications, and expanded clinical responsibilities. A culture of collaboration, transparency, and recognition underpins every interaction, ensuring you feel valued, heard, and encouraged to pursue your long-term goals. We believe that caring for people includes caring for the people who care for them, and we’re dedicated to creating a workplace that sustains your well-being, growth, and professional satisfaction.
