  • 13 weeks
$1,565 to $1,613
Weekly Pay*
AMN Healthcare is partnering with a school district in Hot Springs, Montana to help find an in-person Speech Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) 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 SLPA, under the supervision of a licensed 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 preparation, documentation support, and collaboration, as well as time to enjoy the surrounding area. The typical day includes a mix of implementing direct therapy activities planned by the supervising SLP, assisting with data collection during sessions, preparing materials, supporting carryover of communication goals in the classroom setting, and collaborating with teachers and related service providers. You may rotate between grade levels or buildings depending on the district’s layout, with a strong emphasis on teamwork with special education and general education staff. Evaluations, eligibility determinations, IEP development, and clinical interpretation remain the responsibility of the supervising SLP, while the SLPA plays a key role in carrying out treatment plans and tracking student progress. Nestled in Hot Springs, Montana, on the scenic Flathead Indian Reservation, the area is known for its natural beauty, expansive skies, and peaceful, small-town atmosphere, making it an appealing choice for clinicians who value both meaningful work and an inspiring setting. Hot Springs is renowned for its numerous local hot springs and mineral baths, offering a unique wellness-oriented lifestyle. In and around the community, you can experience various natural hot springs, including historic bathhouses and rustic pools where visitors come to soak, relax, and take in the surrounding mountain views. The calm, therapeutic feel of the area contributes to a slower pace of life that many find restorative. Beyond the hot springs themselves, the region offers abundant outdoor activities. Scenic hiking trails, quiet lakes and rivers for fishing and kayaking, and open spaces for camping and wildlife viewing are all close at hand. The mountains and forests surrounding the Flathead Indian Reservation provide striking backdrops and four-season recreational opportunities, from warm-weather adventures to snow-covered vistas in winter. Hot Springs also serves as a great base for exploring nearby small towns and communities. Plains, Montana, is one nearby town worth visiting, known for its friendly atmosphere and access to additional amenities, shops, and local events. Other communities in the region offer local restaurants, galleries, and seasonal festivals that highlight the culture, craftsmanship, and traditions of western Montana. 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 SLPA 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. You will have the opportunity to build and refine your hands-on skills in delivering therapy activities, collaborate closely with supervising SLPs and educators, and make a meaningful difference in students’ lives, all while enjoying the hot springs, mountains, small towns, and outdoor adventures that make this part of Montana so special.
