Job description

The Opportunity

Speech-language pathologists working with toddlers and preschoolers know how much the setting shapes the work. This role places you inside a play-based daycare and early learning environment in Mobile, AL, where therapy happens through story time, sensory play, and daily classroom routines rather than a clinical office. The position pays $36/hour and includes relocation assistance for candidates coming from outside the area.

• Relocation assistance available
• Manageable caseloads, according to the employer

• Design and deliver therapy plans built around early childhood learning styles and developmental milestones
• Work alongside daycare teachers and early childhood specialists to build communication strategies into classroom routines and play
