Job Description - Lead Speech Language Pathologist


This Is Not a Traditional Staff SLP Position.


SportsMed’s First SLP


Help Build and Grow Our Speech Therapy Department


Clear Leadership Path


$100,000 - $115,000


SportsMed Physical Therapy is seeking our first Speech-Language Pathologist to help establish and grow an adult neuro-focused Speech Therapy program within a well-established multidisciplinary rehabilitation organization.


With established Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy programs already in place, SportsMed is well-positioned to support the growth of Speech Therapy services through existing referral relationships and interdisciplinary care opportunities.


If you've ever wanted the opportunity to build something from the ground up, not just inherit a caseload, this role was designed for you.


Why This Opportunity Is Different


Be the first SLP at SportsMed Physical Therapy


Build and shape a new service line within an established and growing organization


Work alongside Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists in a collaborative rehabilitation environment


Develop an adult neuro-focused program serving patients with stroke, Parkinson's disease, concussion/TBI, cognitive-communication disorders, and dysphagia


Help create new referral pathways, clinical workflows, and best practices for Speech-Language Pathology services


Play a key role in recruiting, interviewing, and mentoring future SLPs as the department grows


Clear path toward future leadership responsibilities


What You'll Be Building


As SportsMed's first Speech-Language Pathologist, you'll have the rare opportunity to combine clinical care with program development.


Initially, you'll focus on building and managing a full-time adult caseload while collaborating closely with our Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy teams.


As the program grows, you'll help shape the future of Speech-Language Pathology at SportsMed by contributing to hiring decisions, mentoring future clinicians, and helping expand services throughout the organization.


We're looking for someone who enjoys patient care but is equally excited by the opportunity to create, lead, and grow something meaningful.


Clinical Focus


You will primarily work with adult patients experiencing:


• Stroke and CVA-related communication disorders


• Parkinson's disease and other neurological conditions


• Concussion and mild traumatic brain injury


• Cognitive-communication disorders


• Dysphagia and swallowing disorders


• Other adult neurorehabilitation diagnoses


What We're Looking For


Required


• Active New Jersey SLP License


• Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology


• Experience treating adult neurological populations


• Strong communication and relationship-building skills


• Interest in leadership, program development, and interdisciplinary care


• A self-starter who enjoys creating new opportunities and building programs


Preferred


• ASHA CCC-SLP


• Previous experience in outpatient rehabilitation


• Experience with dysphagia and cognitive rehabilitation


• Experience mentoring, training, or leading clinicians


What We Offer


Full Benefits (Day One)



  • Medical, Dental, Vision

  • Life & Disability Insurance

  • Paid vacation time, paid sick time, and paid holidays

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • CEU reimbursement

  • Ongoing clinical collaboration and learning culture


Compensation



  • $100,000 – $115,000 base salary

  • Future leadership performance bonus opportunities


Why SportsMed?


SportsMed Physical Therapy has built a reputation for delivering exceptional rehabilitation services through a collaborative, patient-centered approach.


With established Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy programs already in place, we're excited to expand our services and create new opportunities for Speech-Language Pathology within our organization.


This is a rare opportunity to join an established company while helping create something entirely new.


If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact on patients, help shape a growing department, and play a meaningful role in the future of an organization, we'd love to hear from you.
