Speech Therapist (ST)

About the role

The Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) role at Adaptive Home Health is central to improving patient access to home health care. You are responsible for restoring communication, cognition, and swallow safety, ensuring patients can function safely at home and that caregivers understand how to support these improvements.

Responsibilities

• Own outcomes, not just visits: accountable for the patient's SLP plan, progression, and functional outcomes.
• Complete comprehensive in-home SLP evaluations and deliver skilled SLP visits.
• Assess and treat (as ordered/clinically indicated): Aphasia and other communication disorders, cognitive-communication impairment impacting safety and independence, dysphagia screening/assessment and swallow safety education (within home health scope and orders).
• Build and execute a clear plan of care with measurable, functional goals.
• Drive multidisciplinary coordination: communicate changes in condition, align on orders, and keep the care team moving.
• Coach patients/caregivers with practical strategies and routines that actually get done.
• Document promptly and thoroughly in Homecare Homebase (HCHB) — defensible, efficient, and consistent.

Requirements

• Active Texas SLP license (in good standing)
• Strong clinical reasoning and ability to operate independently in the field
• Comfort identifying red flags and escalating changes in condition to RN/MD
• Strong caregiver education skills (teach-back, carryover planning)
• Strong communication and documentation
• Reliable follow-through on orders, frequencies, and patient goals
• Current driver’s license and comfort with daily travel across assigned territory

Why Adaptive

• Operations that back you up: supported by an experienced clinical and operational team.
• Clear productivity model with upside: paid per productivity point with clear expectations (market-specific).
• Schedule flexibility: built schedules to make field work sustainable, supports smart routing and coordination.
• Cutting-edge tech built for clinicians: charting tools reduce documentation burden, scheduling streamlines routing/coordination and reduces last-minute changes.
• Mission-driven work: expanding access to high-quality home health care, and clinicians who take pride in raising the standard.
