Job Description:

Join this inpatient rehabilitation team as a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for a 13-week travel contract at a busy acute care hospital in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This role offers a balanced mix of inpatient rehab and acute care work, with daily responsibilities focused on bedside swallow examinations and dysphagia management. You’ll need to be comfortable performing bedside swallow assessments, and experience with video fluoroscopy swallow evaluations is a plus. The schedule features five 8-hour days from 8:00 to 16:30, including weekend coverage every fifth weekend. The hospital's vibrant environment and diverse patient population will keep your skills sharp while you help patients regain their swallowing abilities in both inpatient rehab and acute care settings. The position requires at least one year of experience, with a focus on dysphagia management and bedside exams. Minnesota licensure is necessary to qualify, and candidates must work outside a 25-mile radius of the facility. This assignment provides a chance to develop your expertise in a well-regarded, magnet-designated facility while enjoying an engaging, fast-paced work environment.
