At VitalCaring, we don’t just provide care—we help patients reconnect, communicate, and live more independently in the place they call home.

As a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) , you play a critical role in restoring communication, cognition, and swallowing function—helping patients regain confidence and improve quality of life after illness or injury.

This is a role for an SLP who thrives in a field-based, one-on-one care environment , values autonomy, and is passionate about delivering meaningful, measurable outcomes.

Deliver personalized care that directly improves communication, safety, and independence.

Manage your day independently with strong clinical leadership and collaborative support behind you.

Focus on one-on-one treatment in the home—where progress is most meaningful.

Be part of a team that invests in your clinical development and long-term success.

As a Home Health SLP, you’ll lead the evaluation and treatment of patients with speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders:

  • Conduct comprehensive evaluations of speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing function
  • Develop and implement individualized plans of care to improve communication, cognition, and safety
  • Provide therapeutic interventions using evidence-based techniques and specialized tools
  • Assess the home environment and recommend adaptive equipment or communication aids
  • Educate patients and caregivers on exercises, compensatory strategies, and safety techniques
  • Monitor patient progress, reassess as needed, and adjust treatment plans accordingly
  • Identify changes in condition and communicate proactively with physicians and the care team
  • Collaborate with nurses, therapists, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure coordinated care
  • Participate in case conferences, discharge planning, and ongoing care coordination
  • Minimum of 1 year clinical experience (home health preferred)
  • Strong clinical judgment and ability to work independently
  • Comfortable in a field-based role with travel between patient homes
  • Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and auto insurance
  • Confidence managing swallowing (dysphagia) and cognitive-communication disorders
  • Ability to adapt treatment plans to real-life home environments
  • A balance of clinical expertise, compassion, and accountability

At VitalCaring, our values - trustworthy, capable, compassionate, proactive, and called - guide every interaction.

Apply today and help patients find their voice, regain independence, and live more fully at home.
