Embark on a rewarding journey as a Speech-Language Pathologist in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, where your clinical expertise meets a community in need and your care creates lasting connections. This travel opportunity is designed for skilled SLPs who want to expand their reach, collaborate across settings, and champion communication for patients across ages. As you prepare to travel through the heart of the Black Hills region, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes, open skies, and a town’s warm hospitality that makes every day meaningful. South Dakota offers outdoor adventures, generous support, and a pace that fosters focused clinical growth. The assignment begins on 12 / 15 / 2025, delivering weeks of dynamic practice that can extend with your performance and the evolving needs of partner sites. You’ll work within a framework that values your hands-on expertise, your judgment, and your ability to empower patients and families through evidence-based communication strategies.

Belle Fourche sits at the doorstep of the Black Hills, a place where nature’s beauty complements a robust, close-knit community. In this location you’ll enjoy a setting that supports balanced living and professional focus : shorter commutes, access to outdoor recreation after shifts, and the chance to build meaningful relationships with students, adults, and their families. The rural-to-urban flexibility of our travel model means you can experience the charm and unique demands of Belle Fourche while also exploring other locations across the U.S. as opportunities arise. The region offers educational, clinical, and hospital networks that expose you to a broad spectrum of speech-language pathology practice—from articulation and language development in school settings to adult language, voice, and swallowing interventions in clinics and inpatient units. Each assignment enhances your clinical repertoire, strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration, and broadens your professional footprint, all while you enjoy the distinctive flavor of South Dakota’s countryside, cultural heritage, and welcoming communities.

Role specifics and benefits : As a Travel Speech-Language Pathologist, you’ll assess and treat patients across ages, from early intervention to adult rehabilitation, with a focus on speech sound disorders, language delays, fluency challenges, voice disorders, and swallowing safety. You’ll conduct comprehensive evaluations, design and implement individualized treatment plans, document progress with precision, and adjust therapy approaches based on ongoing data. Collaboration is central—partner with educators, physicians, therapists, and families to align goals and measure outcomes. You’ll leverage evidence-based modalities, innovative assistive devices, and telepractice as appropriate, ensuring adaptations for diverse environments such as schools, outpatient clinics, and inpatient units. Growth opportunities abound : expand competencies in dysphagia management, augmentative and alternative communication, and clinical leadership as you mentor junior staff or contribute to program development. We provide a competitive package that reflects your expertise, including a sign-on bonus, housing assistance or arranged housing, and the potential for contract extensions based on performance and site needs. You’ll receive 36 guaranteed hours weekly, and you can anticipate a competitive pay range of approximately $2,003 to $2,109 per week, recognizing the value you bring to each patient encounter. To support your success, you’ll have 24 / 7 access to dedicated travel and clinical support, a seamless travel coordination team, licensure reimbursement assistance, and continuing education resources that help you stay at the forefront of the profession. Throughout your assignment, you’ll benefit from a structured framework that emphasizes patient outcomes, evidence-based practice, and the professional growth pathways that elevate your practice and your resume.

Company values : Our organization is rooted in empowering clinicians to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We emphasize mentorship, ongoing professional development, and clear pathways to leadership roles, while maintaining a culture of respect, integrity, and patient-centered care. We invest in your well-being by offering comprehensive resources, including planning support, housing considerations, 24 / 7 crisis and travel assistance, and robust clinical onboarding.
