This is more than a contract—it’s a chance to shape communication outcomes for patients and their families while growing your expertise within the Speech Language Pathology specialty. In Abilene and beyond, you’ll play a pivotal role in delivering evidence-based assessment and therapy, developing personalized treatment plans, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team to maximize every client’s potential. Picture the impact you’ll have as you guide children and adults toward clearer speech, stronger swallowing function, and meaningful participation in daily life. And in Texas, the journey is as rewarding outside the clinic as it is inside it, with a landscape that blends prairie skies with cozy communities and a welcoming spirit.

Texas offers a tapestry of beautiful places that enrich your experience here and beyond. In Abilene, you’ll enjoy a warm West Texas welcome, easy access to outdoor recreation, and a lower cost of living that helps you invest in your professional growth and personal life. Venture farther and you’ll discover the scenic Hill Country, expansive lakes, and vibrant urban hubs across the state.

Role specifics and benefits: As a dedicated Speech Language Pathologist, you will conduct comprehensive speech, language, voice, fluency, cognitive-communication, and swallowing evaluations; interpret assessment results; develop and implement individualized therapy plans; monitor progress; document outcomes with precision; and provide family education and counseling. You’ll collaborate closely with physicians, therapists, educators, and caregivers to align goals and ensure seamless care transitions. The position offers significant professional growth within the Speech Language Pathology specialty, including exposure to diverse caseloads, pediatric and adult populations, and evidence-based practice approaches. You’ll have access to competitive benefits, including a compelling weekly pay range of $2,188 to $2,292, with a guaranteed 40 hours per week. We also provide housing assistance to ease relocation logistics and support for contract extensions, enabling you to deepen your impact over time. In addition, you’ll enjoy extensive, 24/7 support from our travel and clinical teams—so help is always a call or message away, whether you’re navigating a new clinic, coordinating with families, or managing documentation on the go.

The program emphasizes stability and development: you’ll be supported by a network that values your expertise, encourages continuing education, and recognizes your contributions through performance-based opportunities and potential step-ups in responsibility. The role supports you in building a robust portfolio of clinical experiences—ranging from pure articulation therapy and fluency management to AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device integration—while you explore rewarding settings, including school-based, outpatient, or hospital-affiliated environments. Our approach ensures you’re not just meeting metrics but also advancing clinically, refining assessment techniques, and refining collaboration with family-centered care.
