AMN Healthcare is partnering with a school district in Hot Springs, Montana to help find an in-person Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) for an assignment for the 26/27 school year. The assignment serves students from Pre K through 12th grade, providing a unique opportunity to support communication growth across the entire developmental spectrum. The caseload is intentionally kept small, approximately 30 to 40 students, which allows the SLP to focus on high-quality, individualized care rather than high-volume scheduling. Your weekly schedule will be Monday through Thursday, with total hours ranging from 32 to 36 per week. This structure supports a healthy work-life balance and leaves additional time for planning, documentation, and collaboration, as well as time to enjoy the surrounding area. The typical day includes a mix of direct therapy sessions, evaluations, IEP meetings, consultation with teachers and related service providers, and communication with families. You may rotate between grade levels or buildings depending on the districts layout, with a strong emphasis on teamwork with special education and general education staff.Nestled in Hot Springs, Montana, on the scenic Flathead Indian Reservation.

Plains, Montana, is one nearby town worth visiting, known for its friendly atmosphere and access to additional amenities, shops, and local events.

Living and working in this area means you can easily explore these nearby towns on long weekends, all while returning to the quieter, close-knit feel of Hot Springs.Working on the Flathead Indian Reservation offers a chance to be part of a community with deep cultural roots and traditions, where education and healthcare professionals play an important role in supporting local families and students. Many clinicians find this environment incredibly rewarding, both personally and professionally, as they see the direct impact of their work in a smaller, more connected setting.This position is well suited for an SLP who values a manageable caseload, enjoys working with a full continuum of ages from Pre K to high school, and wants to practice in a location that offers both natural beauty and a strong sense of community.
