Job description

PEDIATRIC SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST (in the process of moving to a new Building)

Join a Practice Where You Are Known, Valued & Supported

Bright Start Therapy | Lewiston, Maine

Are you a Speech-Language Pathologist looking for more than just a job?

At Bright Start Therapy, you won't be a number in a large healthcare system. You'll become part of a locally owned, pediatric-focused practice where clinicians know one another, collaborate across disciplines, and have the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with the children and families they serve.

We are growing our team and are looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who wants to build a rewarding career working with children while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Why Bright Start Therapy?

Competitive Compensation

We recognize the value of experienced clinicians and offer competitive compensation based on education, experience, and clinical expertise.

Pediatric-Focused Caseload

Work with children and families across a variety of communication needs, including articulation and phonological disorders, receptive and expressive language, social communication, AAC, fluency, and other areas of speech and language development.

True Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Work alongside experienced SLPs and OTs. We believe collaboration between disciplines leads to stronger outcomes for children and creates a richer clinical environment for our therapists.

Clinic & School-Based Opportunities

Depending on your interests and experience, opportunities may include both clinic-based and school-based services, allowing you to develop a varied and rewarding caseload.

CFs & New Graduates Welcome

Beginning your career? We welcome Clinical Fellows and newer clinicians and provide a supportive environment where you can develop your clinical skills and confidence.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand that clinicians have lives outside of work. We work with our therapists to develop schedules that are practical and sustainable.

Reasonable, Sustainable Caseloads

Quality matters more than simply filling your schedule. We believe children receive better care when therapists have the time and support needed to provide thoughtful, individualized treatment.

Professional Growth

We encourage continuing education and support clinicians in developing areas of specialty that interest them.

What We Offer

• Competitive Salary – We value your education, experience, and clinical expertise.
• Generous Sign-On Bonus – We want to make your decision to join our team worthwhile.
• Annual Performance Reviews – Your growth and contributions matter.
• Paid Time Off
• Paid Holidays
• Pediatric-Only Caseload – Do what you love: work with children and families.

• CF Mentorship & Support – New graduate or CF? We will help you build confidence and grow your clinical skills.
• Flexible Scheduling Options – We recognize that flexibility matters both inside and outside of work.
• $4,000 SLP Referral Bonus – Refer a full-time SLP who joins our team and receive a $4,000 referral bonus.
• Locally Owned & Clinician-Led – Your ideas, clinical judgment, and voice matter here.

We Are Looking For an SLP Who Is:

• Licensed or eligible for licensure in Maine
• ASHA certified or eligible for certification
