Speech Pathologist Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a speech pathologist in North Carolina?
To become a licensed speech pathologist in North Carolina, you must hold a master's degree in speech-language pathology, complete a supervised Clinical Fellowship Year, pass the Praxis Examination in Speech-Language Pathology, and obtain licensure through the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Speech and Language Pathologists and Audiologists. Most employers also expect or require the ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence. The state board manages all applications and renewals for practicing clinicians.
How much do speech pathologists make in North Carolina?
Speech pathologists in North Carolina earn a median of about $86,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $60,800 for the lowest 10% to over $121,040 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire speech pathologists in North Carolina?
Employers hiring speech pathologists in North Carolina right now include Advocate Aurora Health, HiredFirst, and Yad Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. North Carolina's large academic medical systems, regional school districts, and contract therapy staffing firms that serve rural counties account for much of the ongoing demand across the state.
Which North Carolina cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
Charlotte, Wilmington, and Winston-Salem have the most speech pathologist openings in North Carolina. Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham dominate because of their dense concentration of hospital systems, pediatric specialty clinics, and large public school districts, while Greensboro anchors the Piedmont Triad's rehabilitation and long-term care market, which draws consistent hiring from regional health networks and outpatient therapy groups.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they represent a smaller share of the market. About 21% of speech pathologist openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the hands-on nature of most clinical work. Teletherapy roles are the most consistently remote segment, particularly positions serving school-based caseloads in rural North Carolina counties or providing adult outpatient language services through telehealth platforms.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for Clinical Fellowship Year positions, which large North Carolina employers such as Duke Health, Atrium Health, and UNC Health system facilities post regularly for new master's graduates. School districts operated by Wake County, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Guilford County also hire clinical fellows and provisionally licensed SLPs into school-based roles. Candidates with strong supervised fieldwork hours in pediatric or medical settings and a clear path to CCC-SLP credentialing move fastest through these pipelines.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Find roles that match your experience, specialty, and preferred setting, then apply directly to the employers posting them.
