Speech Therapist - Part Time

Neuro Rehab of Dallas is looking to hire a Part Time Speech Language Pathologist (30-36 hrs/week), with plans for this position to transition into a Full-Time role. Our interdisciplinary team is passionate about serving individuals in the community who are challenged with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, MS, Stroke, FND, Post-Concussion Syndrome/Mild TBI, and an assortment of neurological disorders. Our SLP team leads the way in addressing a variety of deficits, including cognitive/communication deficits, difficulties with speech quality and production, as well as issues associated with swallowing and/or eating and drinking.

The rehab clinic is an entity within Neurology Consultants of Dallas (NCD), which provides the opportunity for our clinicians to have open communication with the referring physicians, as well as a very collaborative approach to patient care. Along with the traditional therapy services, our patients also have access to Behavioral Health services, Neuroimaging, a specialized pharmacy, Neuro testing and sleep studies, as well as other Neuro-based treatments and research opportunities. As part of the Wellness continuum, NCD also offers a Neuro Dance program, a PWR! based circuit training class, boxing classes, art journaling, and more!

We encourage personal and team growth, which is fostered through monthly activities including Journal Clubs, “Skills Sessions”, and fun team building activities. If you are interested in joining the NRD team, we would love the opportunity to discuss more with you!
