Join our team at Multimodal Communication Speech Clinic P.C., an SLP-owned practice specializing in early intervention services funded by the Regional Center. We value our clinicians and prioritize their well-being—because we know that supported, happy clinicians provide the highest quality care. We've created streamlined systems so you can focus on your clinical work, not logistics. Scheduling is handled for you, and we’ve built processes that make service delivery smooth and efficient.

This role involves providing in-home, family-centered care to young children (ages 0–3). You’ll have the flexibility to choose your own availability and preferred service areas, allowing you to build a caseload that works for your life. While this job post is built assuming part-time hours, we we’re here to support you if you're interested in growing your caseload to full-time!

We offer hands-on training, mentorship, and ongoing support in early intervention, and our collaborative team is committed to professional growth and high-quality, evidence-based services. You'll have the autonomy of in-home work with the full support of a connected, clinician-focused team.

Hours are not guaranteed, as pay is based on actual client sessions and availability. The clinician’s weekly pay may vary depending on factors such as client cancellations or temporary gaps in caseload. However, we do compensate clinicians at their full rate for cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice.

Clinicians who have greater flexibility in availability and are open to traveling across multiple cities and time slots tend to have a higher likelihood of maintaining a full caseload. We work closely with each clinician to match them with clients that fit their preferred locations and availability, but overall hours and pay may fluctuate based on client attendance and demand.

Yes, the pay rate may vary within the listed range. Compensation is determined based on clinical experience, relevant early intervention background, and languages spoken. Clinicians with more extensive experience in early intervention and home-based services may fall on the higher end of the pay range. Additionally, bilingual providers (English/Spanish) are highly preferred in this region and may receive higher compensation due to increased demand for bilingual services and the ability to serve a broader population.

Paid Sick Time: In compliance with California law, W-2 employees accrue 1 hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, with a minimum of 40 hours (or 5 days) per year provided. Unused hours roll over annually, up to a cap of 80 hours. This benefit is paid in addition to the quoted hourly rate and is not deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

On average, clinicians work 10 paid hours per week, depending on their availability and client need. This includes direct service and paid documentation time. In addition, there is approximately 30 minutes of unpaid time per week for tasks such as responding to emails and coordination. Clinicians average approximately 520 paid hours per year (based on 10 hours/week over 52 weeks), with an additional 2 paid hours per year allocated for report writing (1 hour every 6 months). Unpaid administrative communication averages 26 hours per year (30 minutes/week).

SLPs have the flexibility to choose their own schedule and preferred cities for travel. Upon onboarding, each clinician will complete a form indicating their availability and service areas. Schedules may include sessions any day of the week (Monday through Sunday) based on the clinician’s preferences and client needs. If an SLP needs to change their availability, they must notify the clinic at least 4 weeks in advance to ensure continuity of care and prevent service gaps for families.
 

There are no set clock-in/clock-out times; however, hours worked are tracked based on session documentation (SOAP notes) submitted through the client portal. Payroll is processed based on SOAP notes, which must be submitted on the same day the session occurs.

SLPs requesting time off must do so at least 2 weeks in advance. For same-day cancellations, the clinic must be notified at least 4 hours prior to the scheduled session. In case of a last-minute emergency, clinicians must notify the clinic immediately so families can be informed in a timely manner.

Clinicians may be asked to participate in training sessions or support meetings to promote clinical growth and maintain service quality. These may occasionally take place outside of direct service hours, but SLPs will be informed in advance to allow for coordination with their schedule. Additionally, SLPs are expected to attend quarterly clinic meetings, which are used for team collaboration, updates, and ongoing support.

No paid time off. SLPs are required to request time off at least 2 weeks in advance to allow for coordination of client services. All requests must be submitted in writing and approved by the clinic.
 

For sick days, clinicians must notify the clinic at least 4 hours before the scheduled appointment. In cases of last-minute emergencies, clinicians are expected to notify the clinic as soon as possible so the family can be informed promptly.

SLPs are not required to work on federal holidays, but services may still be offered on those days depending on family preference and clinician availability.

If an SLP has a scheduled session that falls on a federal holiday and does not plan to work, they are responsible for notifying the clinic at least 4 weeks in advance and coordinating a make-up session with the family. Holiday absences are considered unpaid unless otherwise arranged through a rescheduled session.

Clinicians are expected to maintain a minimum attendance rate of 80%, which is calculated every 3 months on a rolling basis. This ensures consistency in care for clients and supports clinician accountability and reliability within the team. This includes being present for all scheduled sessions, with exceptions made for approved time off and excused absences (e.g., illness or emergencies reported within the required time frame). Maintaining this standard helps support service consistency and ensures that clients receive regular, uninterrupted care. Failure to meet the attendance requirement may result in a review of scheduling, caseload, or continued placement with the clinic.

No. We do not have a formal caseload cap, as SLPs have full control over their schedules and can determine the number of clients they are comfortable seeing based on their availability and preferred service areas.

No. Home health position

Eligible employees may take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave under the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to bond with a new child.​

Training program for employees:

• Shadow at least two sessions with an experienced team member before taking on their own caseload
• Attend a virtual orientation with the Clinical Director to review clinic policies, documentation procedures, and service protocols
• Watch a recorded training webinar that introduces our approach to family-centered care and early intervention best practices
