Travel Speech Language Pathologist

Job Overview

Embark on a transformative Travel Speech‑Language Pathologist assignment in Pendleton, Oregon, beginning March 2, 2026, and set your sights on making a lasting difference in the lives of diverse patients across a vibrant Northwest community. As a dedicated SLP, you’ll evaluate, treat, and empower individuals with communication and swallowing challenges, guiding families through evidence‑based strategies that improve daily functioning, literacy, social participation, and safety.

Your expertise will help children and adults alike find their voice, refine feeding skills, and strengthen language competencies across school, clinic, and community settings. This opportunity blends clinically meaningful impact with the chance to explore Oregon’s remarkable landscapes—from the rolling high‑desert plains to nearby forests and river corridors—creating a balanced rhythm of professional purpose and personal discovery as you work across weeks of immersive practice.

You’ll be part of a network that values precision, empathy, and outcomes, delivering compassionate care while embracing the freedoms of travel and new professional environments.

Location benefits:
Pendleton is a welcoming gateway to Oregon’s rich natural beauty and outdoor recreation, offering a supportive local community with convenient access to regional amenities. Working in Pendleton allows you to immerse yourself in a setting where strong interprofessional collaboration, school-based programs, and clinical versatility shape a dynamic clinical landscape. For clinicians seeking broader horizons, this assignment also opens potential opportunities to work in various locations across the United States within our travel network, exposing you to diverse populations, school districts, hospitals, and clinics.

Experience the advantages of culturally varied caseloads, adaptive treatment plans, and rapid skill refinement as you navigate different systems and communities. And when you’re off duty, you’ll have the chance to explore Oregon’s iconic scenery—from the Blue Mountains and vast rivers to forested trails and scenic byways—adding depth to your professional journey with memorable, real-world inspiration.

In this role, you’ll conduct comprehensive speech‑language assessments, develop individualized treatment plans, and implement therapies addressing articulation, language, fluency, voice, pragmatics, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and feeding/swallowing concerns. You’ll monitor progress, adjust goals, document outcomes, and communicate findings clearly to families, teachers, physicians, and other care partners. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams will be a core facet, with opportunities to mentor colleagues, contribute to IEP goals in school settings, and support transition planning for students and adults moving through care pathways.

Competitive benefits include a signing bonus, housing assistance, and extension opportunities, with the option to renew for additional weeks or pursue broader placements to broaden your clinical repertoire. You’ll receive robust support from a dedicated team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you have dependable resources for travel logistics, onboarding, clinical questions, and on‑site needs.

Company values:
Our organization is rooted in empowering clinicians to excel, emphasizing career advancement and a nurturing, collaborative work environment. We’re committed to supporting your growth through ongoing professional development, mentorship, and access to resources that strengthen your clinical leadership. By prioritizing clinician well-being, work‑life integration, and a culture of respect, we aim to elevate patient outcomes while helping you build a resilient, rewarding career in speech‑language pathology.
