Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)

Sussex County, DE | Full-Time 

Looking for an SLP role where you can spend more time focused on your patients and less time chasing aggressive productivity numbers?

We’re hiring a full-time Speech Language Pathologist to join an in-house rehabilitation team within a nonprofit senior living community in Seaford, DE.

This role works primarily with a geriatric population, treating a mix of swallowing, speech, language, and cognitive needs. Because therapy is provided in-house within a Continuing Care Retirement Community, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know your residents and follow them across different levels of care.

What Makes This Role Different

• Monday-Friday, full-time schedule
• 75% productivity expectation
• No mandated group therapy
• In-house rehab — not a contract therapy company
• Strong focus on dysphagia and geriatric care
• Opportunity to follow residents across the continuum of care
• Clinically driven, patient-centered treatment decisions
• Supportive interdisciplinary rehab team
• Paid onsite training with CEU-eligible opportunities
• Nonprofit organization with potential Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility

What You’ll Do

• Evaluate and treat dysphagia/swallowing disorders
• Provide speech, language, and cognitive-communication evaluations and treatment
• Develop individualized treatment plans and goals based on each resident’s needs
• Treat geriatric residents with diagnoses such as dementia, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological conditions
• Recommend swallowing strategies, diet modifications, and safety interventions when clinically appropriate
• Educate residents, families, and caregivers on swallowing and communication strategies
• Collaborate closely with nursing, dietary, PT, OT, physicians, and other members of the care team
• Complete evaluations, progress notes, care plans, and discharge documentation
• Participate in interdisciplinary care planning and discharge planning
• Help residents maintain their highest possible level of communication, independence, and quality of life

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s degree in Speech Language Pathology
• Active ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP)
• Active Delaware SLP license or eligibility for Delaware licensure
• Experience with geriatric and dysphagia populations preferred
• Skilled Nursing and/or outpatient rehabilitation experience preferred
• CCC-SLP required; Clinical Fellowship candidates are not being considered

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage
• Paid time off and holidays
• 401(k) with 4% company match after one year
• Life and disability insurance
• Flexible Spending Accounts
• Professional development and CEU opportunities
• Career advancement opportunities
• Potential Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility

If you’re a CCC-SLP looking for a more patient-centered environment with realistic productivity expectations, clinical autonomy, and the opportunity to build relationships with the people you treat, we’d love to connect.
