Speech-Language Pathologist: Full-Time Elementary School

Virginia | December 2026–June 2027

You care deeply about your students. Your team should care deeply about you.

Chatterboxes was founded by an SLP who believes that connection, clinical growth, and wellbeing belong at the heart of our work. We’re building a professional home where you can ask questions, share ideas, feel heard, and grow without losing yourself in the demands of caring for others.

Through our Sanctuary Model, we make room for regular conversations with your clinical leader, thoughtful collaboration with fellow SLPs, and relationships that extend beyond your caseload. We want you to feel connected to a team that knows you and values what you bring.

At Chatterboxes, we believe meaningful clinical work and a sustainable career belong together.

• Partner with teachers, families, and the special education team to help communication skills carry into students’ everyday learning.
• Support continuity of care throughout the coverage period.

What you’ll bring

• A master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology.

A professional home where connection matters!

We care about how it feels to do this work. Our Sanctuary Model creates space for clinicians to feel heard, build confidence, and stay connected—even when working in different schools or providing services virtually.

Our culture includes:

• Monthly 1:1s with your Sanctuary Leader: Time to process challenges, celebrate wins, and reflect on your wellbeing and professional growth.
• Clinical collaboration: Fellow SLPs to exchange ideas, ask questions, and work through clinical decisions together.
• Leadership that listens: An SLP founder and clinical leaders who stay connected to clinicians’ experiences.
• Optional opportunities to connect: A growing mix of coffee conversations, regional gatherings, and virtual connection opportunities that respect your time and life outside work.
