Why this was classified this way

  • Per Diem

Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth applying only if you are a licensed CCC-SLP seeking per diem home health work. It is not a practical route for clinicians trying to move into non-clinical careers.

Who should apply

Licensed speech-language pathologists with CCC-SLP, CPR certification, and interest in adult home health care, especially those comfortable with independent in-home visits and interdisciplinary collaboration.

CV angle

Frame real SLP experience around licensed independent evaluation and treatment, adult dysphagia and cognitive-communication care, AAC and aural rehabilitation, home health documentation, patient/family education, and collaboration with interdisciplinary teams. Do not position it as non-clinical experience.

Skills to highlight

  • Speech-language pathology evaluation
  • Dysphagia assessment and treatment
  • Cognitive communication disorders
  • Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
  • Aural rehabilitation
  • Home health care
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Patient and caregiver education

Role summary

Per diem home health SLP role providing in-home evaluation and treatment for adults with speech, language, cognitive communication, voice, and swallowing disorders, including AAC and aural rehabilitation support.
