Mid Level
Step into a meaningful role as a Speech Language Pathologist in New Mexico, Belen, where your clinical expertise can transform the lives of children and adults alike. This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to partner with families, schools, and healthcare teams to unlock clearer communication, stronger social interaction, and renewed confidence. As you embark on this journey beginning 01/26/2026, you’ll join a program designed to empower you to grow within the specialty while making a tangible difference in the communities you serve. Beyond the professional impact, you’ll discover the magic of New Mexico—where the desert sunrise over the jagged mesas meets the cultural richness of Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and the many pueblos. From the otherworldly expanse of White Sands to the awe-inspiring Carlsbad Caverns and the scenic trails of the Sangre de Cristo range, New Mexico offers a landscape that invites reflection, resilience, and renewed energy for your clinical work. Belen itself sits in a welcoming, close-knit community with easy access to the state’s outdoor playgrounds and urban amenities, making it a perfect base for a fulfilling travel-ready SLP experience. This is your chance to bring your expertise to a place that values compassionate care and professional fulfillment while exploring a state renowned for its sun-filled days and warm hospitality.
Location benefits go beyond your daily caseload. Working in Belen positions you at the heart of a state renowned for its outdoor adventures, vibrant arts scene, and culturally rich communities, where you’ll frequently witness the impact of speech and language therapy across diverse populations. The role also offers you the flexibility and adventure of opportunities to work in various locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while maintaining the security and continuity you deserve. You’ll experience different school districts, clinics, and hospital settings, each with their own approaches to therapy, documentation, and multidisciplinary collaboration. You’ll have the chance to immerse yourself in New Mexico’s unique environments—palm-dotted river valleys one week, high desert vistas the next—while still benefiting from a stable contract structure, guaranteed hours, and reliable weekly compensation. Whether you’re drawn to urban centers with rich cultural offerings or quieter communities nestled in spectacular landscapes, this assignment supports your desire to grow as an SLP while delivering high-quality care to patients who rely on your expertise.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to support your clinical leadership and ongoing professional development. As the assigned Speech Language Pathologist, you’ll evaluate communication disorders across pediatric and adult populations, design and implement individualized treatment plans, and monitor progress with precise documentation and outcome measures. You’ll collaborate with physicians, educators, therapists, and families to align goals, coordinate care transitions, and advocate for your patients’ needs. You’ll lead evidence-based interventions that address articulation, language, voice, fluency, feeding, and alternative communication methods, tailoring approaches to each patient’s strengths, cultural factors, and setting. The role emphasizes growth within the specialty—opportunities to expand competencies in early intervention, autism spectrum supports, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and telepractice when appropriate. In addition to a competitive weekly pay range of $2,204-$2,300 for 35 guaranteed hours, the compensation package includes a sign-on bonus and housing assistance to ease transition and relocation. We offer extension opportunities that let you continue the journey with familiar teams or explore new communities, enabling you to diversify your clinical experience while maintaining continuity of care. Comprehensive support is a hallmark of the program: a dedicated travel concierge and 24/7 assistance ensure you’re never alone on the road, with resources for travel logistics, housing logistics, licensure guidance, and clinical consults available whenever you need them. Regular check-ins, mentorship, and access to continuing education reimbursements are baked into the framework to help you stay at the forefront of best practices and achieve your professional goals.
The company values your contribution and invests in your career trajectory. We are committed to empowering our staff by fostering a collaborative, supportive environment where you can advance within the specialty, broaden your clinical leadership, and build lasting relationships with colleagues across disciplines. You’ll be encouraged to pursue ongoing education, attend relevant conferences, and engage in reflective practice that elevates patient outcomes and professional satisfaction. The culture emphasizes respect, open communication, and a shared mission to deliver compassionate, high-quality care while prioritizing work–life balance, respectful teamwork, and a positive work climate. By joining this team, you’ll be welcomed into a community that recognizes your expertise, values your voice, and supports your growth through structured pathways, feedback loops, and opportunities to contribute to program development and quality improvement initiatives.
If you’re ready to apply, seize this exciting chance to contribute to patient-centered care in New Mexico while expanding your horizons across the U.S. This is more than a placement—it’s a pathway to meaningful impact, professional growth, and a life-enriching experience that honors your dedication to Speech Language Pathology.
