Job description

Description

Some of the most meaningful moments in speech-language therapy happen when young children discover new ways to communicate and connect with the world around them. A toddler using their first words or signs to express a need. A preschooler learning to share ideas, ask questions, and build friendships through conversation. A child using a communication device to express thoughts and feelings that were once difficult to share.

At ACCESS Early Childhood, those moments are what our work is all about.

We're looking for a Speech-Language Pathologist who loves working with young children, sees the possibilities in every child, and wants to be part of a team that shows up for one another as much as they do for the children and families they serve.

Our therapists work alongside early childhood educators, evaluators, and other clinical professionals in a collaborative environment where expertise is valued, ideas are shared, and everyone works toward a common goal: helping young children build the foundational skills they need to learn, play, grow, and thrive.

A rewarding career with room for life outside of work

We know that meaningful progress doesn't happen by accident. It takes skilled therapists, the right resources, and a team that supports one another. We also believe the professionals doing this important work deserve time for their own lives.

At ACCESS, you'll enjoy:

• 15.5 paid holidays and 18 days of paid time off annually — a total of 33.5 paid days off
• No nights or weekends, with steady, predictable daytime schedules
• Competitive salaries with opportunities for milestone bonuses
• Paid professional licensure and continuing education (CEUs)
• Medical, dental, vision, and short-term disability coverage
• 401(k) with employer matching opportunities
• State-of-the-art therapy facilities designed specifically for pediatric care
• A collaborative environment where therapists, educators, and other professionals work together toward each child’s goals
• Opportunities to pursue professional interests through special projects and programs
• A family-friendly workplace that recognizes the importance of life beyond work
