Join a collaborative, highly supportive team delivering impactful speech therapy services to children from birth to age five across a well-defined, local territory.

Why This Role Stands Out:
This position combines the autonomy of a flexible schedule with the support of an experienced, multidisciplinary team.

• Flexible Monday–Friday daytime schedule
• Full-time and part-time opportunities available

• Option to work summers
• CFY candidates encouraged to apply

What You’ll Do

• Deliver speech-language therapy services to children ages birth–5
• Work across a variety of settings including homes, preschools, daycares, and clinics
• Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of clinical and educational professionals
• Support children and families through individualized, developmentally appropriate care

What You’ll Receive

• Competitive 10-month salary structure with comprehensive benefits
• Paid school calendar holidays and paid time off
• Mileage reimbursement and documentation support
• Loan forgiveness options
• Ongoing professional development, including a minimum of 10 CEUs per year
• Manageable caseload within a defined local territory
• Supportive supervision and team-oriented work environment
• Opportunity for company participation/shares

Qualifications

• Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology
• New York State license in Speech-Language Pathology
• Certification as Teacher of Speech and Hearing Handicapped (TSHH) or Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities (TSSLD)
• ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC) preferred
