Speech Therapist

About the Role

Crossroads Home Health & Hospice is looking for a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist to see home health patients in Vallejo and nearby communities on a per diem basis. You will evaluate and treat adults with speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing needs in their own homes, and you will work with nurses, therapists, and physicians who share your patients.

If you want flexible scheduling, one-on-one time with patients, and control over your own day, this role offers that.

What You Will Do

Evaluate speech, language, cognition, and swallowing, including the home environment and any equipment needs. Set functional goals and help develop each patient's plan of care. Deliver therapy using specialized techniques and equipment. Recommend communication devices and aids when they are indicated. Teach patients, families, and caregivers the treatment program so progress continues between visits.

Coordinate with the referring physician and the interdisciplinary team. Take part in case conferences and in-services as needed. Complete clinical documentation and progress notes accurately and on time, following agency policy and state and federal regulations. Participate in quality assessment and performance improvement activities and in peer consultation.

What You Bring A master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from an accredited program. A current California Speech-Language Pathologist license in good standing. An ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP), or the education and experience needed to qualify for it. At least one year of clinical SLP experience.

Home health, SNF, or acute rehab experience with adult and geriatric patients is preferred, especially dysphagia management. Current CPR certification. A valid driver's license, a reliable vehicle, and auto insurance that meets state and agency requirements. Strong verbal and written communication and good organization skills.
