Introduction
Step into a role where your clinical expertise translates into meaningful, measurable outcomes for individuals and communities. As a Speech-Language Pathologist assigned to Lacey, Washington, you will evaluate, diagnose, and treat communication and swallowing disorders across diverse settings, guiding patients toward clearer speech, richer language, and safer swallowing. This contract invites you to grow as a clinician, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and broaden your impact through evidence-based interventions, reflective practice, and compassionate care. You’ll be part of a program that values your professional standards while supporting your development, helping clients overcome barriers to everyday communication and connection. Your work will matter—from early language development in pediatric populations to voice and swallowing therapies in adults—delivering dignity, autonomy, and improved quality of life.
Separately, Washington’s beauty is unmistakable. Evergreen forests, shimmering Puget Sound, and the rugged Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges frame a region rich in outdoor adventures and cultural experiences. In your downtime, you’ll find scenic hikes, waterfront strolls, farmers markets, coffee house conversations, and vibrant community events. This is a place where professional fulfillment and natural splendor coexist, offering balance, inspiration, and a sense of belonging.
Location Benefits
The assignment is anchored in the family-friendly community of Lacey, near Olympia, with easy access to excellent schools, parks, and a variety of cultural and recreational amenities. Lacey offers a welcoming atmosphere, safe neighborhoods, and a robust network of healthcare facilities that support collaborative care and professional growth. While you’ll be rooted in this vibrant base, you’ll also have the opportunity to work in multiple locations across the United States, expanding your clinical exposure and enriching your practice with diverse populations, service delivery models, and state regulations. The local environment blends small-town warmth with proximity to larger hubs, providing abundant opportunities for professional networking, continuing education, and community engagement. Competitive compensation is paired with a weekly pay range of $2,422-$2,533, and you’ll have access to housing assistance and potential contract extensions, all designed to make your transition smooth and rewarding. Start Date is 01/19/2026, with a flexible duration defined in weeks, and there are no guaranteed hours attached to the assignment.
Role Specifics and Benefits
Key responsibilities center on delivering comprehensive speech-language pathology services across pediatric, school-based, and adult settings as assigned. You’ll assess communication and swallowing disorders, develop individualized treatment plans, implement evidence-based interventions, monitor progress, and adjust plans to achieve meaningful outcomes. Collaboration is essential: you’ll work with physicians, educators, therapists, families, and support staff to coordinate care, share progress, provide family education, and advocate for patient needs. Documentation, compliance with standards, and quality improvement initiatives will be integral to your daily routine. There is ample room for professional growth within the specialty—from expanding caseload diversity to pursuing advanced certifications or specialized clinical tracks. You’ll have access to mentorship, structured performance feedback, and opportunities to lead or participate in program development, quality assurance projects, and interdisciplinary case reviews.
Benefits are designed with your career in mind. In addition to a competitive weekly pay rate, the program offers a sign-on bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation and daily living, and the potential for contract extensions that allow you to deepen your expertise and build lasting relationships with clients and teams. A robust support network surrounds you: travel coordination, credentialing and onboarding, and, crucially, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel and clinical coordination team. This means you’re never navigating challenges alone—whether it’s clinical questions, scheduling, or travel logistics, you have a partner to ensure seamless service delivery and patient care.
