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 an SLP 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 and/or CFY who wants to build a rewarding career working with children while maintaining a healthy work‑life balance.

CFs Are Welcome!

Beginning your career? We welcome Clinical Fellows and provide a supportive environment for developing your clinical skills and confidence.

Mentorship & Collaboration

Work alongside experienced SLPs and occupational therapists. We believe clinicians learn from one another and that collaboration leads to better outcomes for children.

Pediatric‑Focused Caseload

Work exclusively with children and develop your expertise in pediatric speech and language, articulation, language disorders, AAC, social communication, fluency, and other areas of need.

School & Clinic Opportunities

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

Flexibility

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 clinicians do their best work when they have the time and support needed to provide thoughtful, individualized care.

Professional Growth

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