Speech Therapist

The Willis Knighton Health Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department is looking for a full-time Speech Therapist (ST). This ST would be based in the WK Palmetto Outpatient Rehabilitation Clinic, working with all age groups, and would also perform swallowing videos and float to inpatient care as needed.

At WK Palmetto, this ST will work with other multidisciplinary therapy staff in the clinic and with a variety of orthopedic and neurological clients. This position requires self-motivation, flexibility, and good time management skills. Energy, motivation, compassion and organization will be key considerations in choosing our candidate.

In addition to working during the week, this ST would also be on a weekend rotation in one of the Willis-Knighton acute care facilities.

Preference will be given to ST applicants with outpatient experience, but one with less experience will be considered. The chosen ST must be licensed to practice as an ST in Louisiana or eligible for licensure. In addition to the new employee hospital orientation, the ST will receive departmental orientation and also be assigned a mentor.
