Speech Language Pathologist (SLP)

Description

The ability to re-imagine the path to recovery and include what an individual and their family needs is at the center of our individualized care plans. As a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) at QLI, you will be a prime navigator in this journey. Imagine collaborating on a care plan that centers around the functional recovery after a traumatic brain or spinal cord injury. Imagine creating real-life scenarios so that a person can have a life filled with dignity and purpose after they leave QLI. Imagine changing lives. Imagine yourself at QLI.

At QLI, we foster an environment that allows for us to take time to deliver results, and not just check boxes. This approach allows for autonomy while collaborating, taking time needed to improve skills, improve the lives of the people we care for, and build on a hopeful future. We are a passionate and mission-focused team committed to delivering life-changing rehabilitation and care. We value our people, our creativity, our results, our Mission.

What does it look like?

As an SLP, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team approach and be involved in a resident’s routine. Not only will you complete traditional treatments such as swallow evaluations, diet assessments to increase independence, addressing voicing and vocal impairments, and evaluating compensation and recovery techniques, you will also have the unique opportunity to create one-of-a-kind activities to reach a resident’s recovery goal. Some goals might include:

• helping a Dad learn to read again so he can read to his daughter’s kindergarten class
• helping to simulate a work environment so a woman can return to work
• complete real-life interactions at a store so a young adult can get his own groceries
• providing brain injury education while on-site or through Zoom sessions

Is it for you?

• Do you thrive in an environment where you can be a contributing partner to someone’s therapy plan and help them through their recovery?
• Are you looking to begin your healthcare career or further your journey in healthcare with an organization that creates goals based on what an individual needs and wants?
• Do you demonstrate empathy when providing care or teaching families and residents about their injury and recovery process?
• Do you want be on a team where supervisors throughout the organization consistently step-in to help team members?
• Are you looking for an orientation process that doesn’t “throw you to the wolves” and hope you survive?

You would be a great fit if you…

• Are driven-to-learn and desire to be supported by your team and supervisors.
• Create custom solutions to problems so you can meet a resident where they are at.
• Connect with people when teaching them new skills or tactics.
