This Is Not a Traditional Staff SLP Position.

SportsMed's First SLP

Help Build and Grow Our Speech Therapy Department

Clear Leadership Path

$100,000 - $115,000

SportsMed Physical Therapy is seeking our first Speech-Language Pathologist to help establish and grow an adult neuro-focused Speech Therapy program within a well-established multidisciplinary rehabilitation organization.

With established Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy programs already in place, SportsMed is well-positioned to support the growth of Speech Therapy services through existing referral relationships and interdisciplinary care opportunities.

If you've ever wanted the opportunity to build something from the ground up, not just inherit a caseload, this role was designed for you.

What You'll Be Building

As SportsMed's first Speech-Language Pathologist, you'll have the rare opportunity to combine clinical care with program development.

Initially, you'll focus on building and managing a full-time adult caseload while collaborating closely with our Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy teams.

As the program grows, you'll help shape the future of Speech-Language Pathology at SportsMed by contributing to hiring decisions, mentoring future clinicians, and helping expand services throughout the organization.

We're looking for someone who enjoys patient care but is equally excited by the opportunity to create, lead, and grow something meaningful.

Clinical Focus

You will primarily work with adult patients experiencing:
• Stroke and CVA-related communication disorders
• Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions
• Concussion and mild traumatic brain injury
• Cognitive-communication disorders
• Dysphagia and swallowing disorders
• Other adult neurorehabilitation diagnoses

What We're Looking For

Required
• Active New Jersey SLP License
• Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology
• 2+ years experience treating adult neurological populations in an outpatient setting
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Interest in leadership, program development, and interdisciplinary care
• A self-starter who enjoys creating new opportunities and building programs

Preferred
• ASHA CCC-SLP
• Previous experience in outpatient rehabilitation
• Experience with dysphagia and cognitive rehabilitation
• Experience mentoring, training, or leading clinicians

What We Offer

Full Benefits (Day One)

• Medical, Dental, Vision
• Life & Disability Insurance
• Paid vacation time, paid sick time, and paid holidays
• 401(k) with employer match
• CEU reimbursement
• Ongoing clinical collaboration and learning culture

Compensation

• $100,000 - $115,000 base salary
• Future leadership performance bonus opportunities
