How much do speech pathologists make in Virginia?

Which companies hire speech pathologists in Virginia?
Employers hiring speech pathologists in Virginia right now include HiredFirst, Ivy Rehab Network, and Ivy Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Virginia's combination of large integrated health systems, public school divisions, and rehabilitation networks keeps demand for speech pathologists steady throughout the year.
Which Virginia cities have the most speech pathologist jobs?
The Virginia cities with the most speech pathologist openings are Richmond, Danville, and Ashland. Northern Virginia's proximity to large hospital systems and one of the most populous school district networks in the state drives volume there, while Richmond and Hampton Roads reflect the concentration of academic medical centers, regional health systems, and substantial public school enrollment across those metro areas.
Are there remote speech pathologist jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're a smaller share of the market, since most speech pathology work involves direct patient or student contact. About 23% of speech pathologist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting a growing but still limited segment. Telepractice roles are most common in school-based services and adult outpatient settings where diagnostic and follow-up sessions can be conducted effectively over video.
How can I get hired as a speech pathologist in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is applying for a Clinical Fellowship Year position, which large Virginia health systems and school divisions specifically structure for new graduates completing their supervised hours toward the CCC-SLP. Inova, Sentara, and VCU Health as well as Northern Virginia and Fairfax County public school divisions routinely onboard clinical fellows. Candidates with a completed master's degree, a Virginia Board of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology provisional license, and strong practicum documentation are competitive for these roles even without post-graduate experience.
Where can I find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to speech pathologist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings across health systems, school divisions, and outpatient settings. Search the listings for roles that match your experience and specialty area, then apply directly to each one.
