Job description

Description

Fusion Therapy Center is seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist who genuinely enjoys working independently in the community and wants travel-based therapy to be the primary focus of their position.

This role provides pediatric speech and language therapy at partner daycares, preschools, schools, and other community locations throughout Northwest Arkansas through Fusion’s mobile therapy program.

This is a travel-focused position. While in-clinic patients may occasionally be used to help bridge openings, build the clinician’s caseload, or maintain productive hours, the long-term intent of this role is to develop and maintain a primarily travel-based caseload.

As part of your total rewards, we are pleased to offer a competitive sign-on bonus. We are looking for a clinician who enjoys variety, autonomy, relationship-building with community partners, and providing high-quality care outside of a traditional clinic setting.

Our Mission: To empower families and enhance the lives of children through holistic, evidence-based therapy services.

Why join Fusion?

At Fusion Therapy Center, we believe in rewarding your time, dedication, and clinical excellence. Our compensation model values your contributions while providing flexibility, professional growth, and administrative support.

This position may be especially appealing to a clinician who enjoys:

• Getting out of the clinic and working within the community
• Building relationships with schools, daycares, families, and community partners
• Having independence throughout the workday
• Working with children in their natural environments
• Managing a mobile caseload with support from a dedicated scheduling and leadership team
• Variety in their daily routine rather than remaining in one clinical setting

Employment Structure

You will be hired as a W-2 employee, with payroll taxes handled by Fusion and access to applicable employee benefits.

Clinicians are compensated at a competitive hourly rate for billable services, providing transparency and alignment between clinical productivity and compensation.

What Your Schedule May Look Like

Your primary caseload will consist of patients seen at assigned daycares, preschools, schools, and community partner locations.

Fusion coordinates travel routes and patient schedules with the goal of minimizing unnecessary drive time and creating efficient geographic groupings.

Your schedule may include:

• Traveling between assigned community locations
• Treating multiple patients at the same school or daycare when possible
• Completing documentation between sessions or during designated administrative time
• Communicating with families, caregivers, teachers, and the Fusion clinical team
• Participating in team meetings and clinical collaboration
• Providing occasional in-clinic treatment when needed to bridge openings or support caseload development

Candidates should apply with the expectation that travel therapy will be the primary responsibility of this position.

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on billable hours
• Mileage reimbursement for eligible travel
• Travel stipend for travel between assigned sites
• Flexible work schedule
• Continuing education reimbursement based on hours worked
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for eligible full-time staff
• PTO for eligible full-time staff
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Mentorship and onboarding support
• Supportive scheduling and administrative teams

Compensation and Financial Rewards

Highly Competitive Hourly Pay: $52–$57 per billable hour

Evaluation & Re-Evaluation Bonus: Additional $20/hour

Administrative Pay: Paid administrative time during qualifying patient cancellations

Mileage Reimbursement: Reimbursement for eligible miles driven

Travel Stipend: $20 administrative pay per travel day for travel between assigned locations and the clinic

401(k): Employer-supported retirement savings

Professional Development

CEU reimbursement based on hours worked

90-day mentorship and onboarding program

Collaboration with experienced pediatric clinicians

Career pathways in mentorship, leadership, specialty clinical areas, and Fusion’s mobile therapy program

Requirements

Responsibilities:

• Evaluate pediatric patients to determine eligibility for speech-language therapy services
• Develop individualized plans of care based on patient needs and goals
• Provide evidence-based speech, language, feeding, and/or communication interventions within your areas of competency
• Deliver therapy in community settings including daycares, preschools, and schools
• Adapt treatment to the child’s natural environment
• Educate and collaborate with families, caregivers, teachers, and community partners
• Complete documentation accurately and within required timelines
• Maintain communication with Fusion's scheduling, clinical, and administrative teams
• Manage travel between assigned locations responsibly and efficiently
• Maintain a reliable schedule and demonstrate ownership of assigned patients and community relationships

Requirements:

• Master’s degree or higher in Speech-Language Pathology
• Current Arkansas SLP license or anticipated licensure date
• Strong clinical reasoning and communication skills
• Ability to work independently while remaining connected to a collaborative clinical team
• Strong organization and time-management skills
• Reliability and comfort managing a travel-based workday
• Ability and willingness to drive between assigned community locations
• Dependable transportation
• Knowledge of pediatric speech-language evaluation and treatment
• Familiarity with Medicaid and private insurance documentation requirements preferred

Who Will Thrive in This Position?

This position is best suited for an SLP who actively wants a mobile caseload, rather than someone who is simply willing to travel occasionally.

You may be a great fit if you enjoy being out in the community, appreciate independence, can organize your day across multiple locations, and like developing relationships with the schools and childcare centers where your patients spend their time.

Fusion provides the clinical, administrative, and scheduling support behind you while giving you the autonomy to make a meaningful impact where children live, learn, and play.
