Tucson, AZ
Contracted
Banner - University Medical Center Tucson
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative opportunity as a Speech Language Pathologist in Tucson, Arizona, where your clinical expertise will illuminate the voices of patients across the lifespan. In this travel‑friendly placement, you’ll assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, and swallowing disorders, collaborating with physicians, educators, and families to craft individualized therapy goals. Your daily work will generate tangible impact—from a kindergartner celebrating a new sound to a high school student building pragmatic communication skills, to an adult navigating recovery after a stroke. And in this region of remarkable beauty, you’ll have opportunities to explore the Sonoran Desert’s sunlit trails, Sedona’s red rocks, and nearby national parks that are a short drive away for weekend adventures. This assignment is part of a nationwide travel program designed to broaden your clinical experience while keeping you connected to a supportive team.
Location benefits: The Tucson assignment places you in a thriving urban center with a strong health system, an engaged community, and access to outdoor recreation year‑round. Tucson blends a vibrant cultural scene with a welcoming, accessible cost of living. The position also offers the possibility to rotate to other sites across the United States, enabling exposure to diverse patient populations, treatment approaches, and care settings. You’ll grow your professional toolkit while enjoying the flexibility to see different parts of the country, building a robust resume as you deepen your clinical specialization and broaden your professional network.
Role specifics and benefits: Your primary responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive speech and language evaluations, developing evidence‑based, individualized treatment plans, delivering direct therapy sessions, documenting progress, and communicating results to families and other care team members. You’ll implement therapy for articulation, language, fluency, voice, feeding and swallowing disorders, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies, and social communication skills as appropriate to your caseload. You’ll monitor outcomes, adjust interventions, and advocate for patients’ communication needs across settings—schools, clinics, hospitals, and home care. This assignment offers substantial opportunities for professional growth within the Speech Language Pathology specialty, including potential to expand your scope into pediatric or adult specialties, or to pursue feeding/swallowing certifications, AAC, or telepractice pathways. Competitive benefits include a sign‑on or completion bonus, housing assistance or stipend, and the possibility of contract extensions to continue your work beyond the initial period. You will be supported by a comprehensive team including clinical managers, mentors, and 24/7 travel support, with nonstop access to experienced coordinators as you move between sites. Our program emphasizes a structured pathway for advancement, ongoing education credits, and recognition of excellence through performance‑based opportunities.
Company values: We are dedicated to empowering our staff, fostering a culture of professional growth, collaboration, and inclusion. The company invests in your long‑term success by offering mentorship, access to continuing education resources, and clear career pathways that enable you to take on more complex cases, leadership roles, or specialty certifications.
