About Little Land

Since 2014, Little Land has helped children reach their potential through occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, and ABA - all under one roof, next to our own sensory-rich play gym.

Why clinicians choose Little Land

• A true salary. Your pay never drops for cancellations, no-shows, documentation, or admin time.
• Weekdays only. Monday-Friday, no weekends required.
• Real time off. Paid PTO, nine paid holidays.
• One roof, whole child. Work side by side with OT, PT, speech, and ABA colleagues on shared kids.
• Room to grow. A clear path into clinical leadership as our speech department expands.

The role

Our Lead Speech-Language Pathologist is the clinical anchor of our speech team. You will carry a pediatric caseload, supervise SLPAs, and mentor Clinical Fellows as they earn their CCCs. You will report to our Executive Clinical Director (SLP), and work closely with our Administrative Director on patient scheduling.

What you will do

• Evaluate and treat children with speech, language, fluency, AAC, and feeding needs
• Supervise SLPAs in line with Texas licensure rules, including observation, documentation review, and plan-of-care oversight
• Mentor and supervise Clinical Fellows through their CF year per ASHA requirements
• Write clear, timely evaluations, plans of care, and progress notes that meet payer requirements
• Coach parents with strategies they can use at home
• Collaborate with our OT, PT, and ABA teams on shared clients
• Help build speech programs and clinical standards as the team grows

What you bring

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from a CAA-accredited program
• Active Texas SLP license (or able to obtain one before your start date) and ASHA CCC-SLP
• Eligible to supervise SLPAs under Texas rules and to mentor Clinical Fellows under ASHA rules
• 3+ years of pediatric SLP experience, outpatient clinic preferred
• Demonstrated leadership ability, such as supervising SLPAs, CFs, or graduate students, or leading a clinical program
• AAC, feeding, PROMPT, or apraxia training is a plus

What success looks like

• The SLPAs and Clinical Fellows you supervise are compliant, confident, and on track, with CFs earning their CCCs.
• Your caseload is full and your documentation sets the example for the team.
• You help shape speech programs and clinical standards with the Executive Clinical Director.

How we lead

Every Little Land leader is held to our ten Leadership Principles. As a lead, you will be expected to:

• Own the outcome. Take responsibility for results, not just tasks.
• Extend the line. Your authority comes from your role, not from being liked; build rapport with the team while keeping the objectivity to coach fairly.
• Develop your people. Coach the SLPAs and Clinical Fellows you supervise.
• Resolve conflict directly. Address friction at its source instead of letting it spread.
• Receive feedback without defensiveness. Hear feedback about yourself, not just give it.

Schedule

Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., with a one-hour lunch. No weekends required. This is an in-person role at our Cedar Park clinic.

Benefits

• Base salary of $72,000-$78,000 (based on experience), plus an uncapped quarterly productivity bonus. This is a true salaried role: your pay is never reduced for admin time, documentation, or patient cancellations and no-shows
• Health, dental, and vision insurance, with Little Land covering 50% of premiums
• Two weeks of paid time off
• Nine paid holidays
• CEU reimbursement paid by Little Land
• A clear path toward clinical leadership as our speech department grows

Good to know

This role requires a background check and the ability to work at floor level, lift and move children and equipment, and keep up with active kids. Little Land is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds.
