As a pediatric speech–language pathologist at Hearts and Hands Therapy Services, your role goes far beyond articulation or helping with language delays. You’ll work with a diverse caseload of children with unique abilities. Every session is a chance to unlock potential, reduce frustration, and help a child feel seen, heard, and understood. We are currently hiring for two locations: North and South Atlanta Georgia (Woodstock and Morrow).

You’ll collaborate closely with our dynamic interdisciplinary team of OTs, PTs, and behavior analysts, building wraparound plans of care that meet the whole child. Families will look to you as both an expert and a trusted guide, and you’ll celebrate each milestone together.

Whether you’re supporting a child in saying their first word or finding the right AAC solution for a complex communicator, your work will echo far beyond the therapy room.

***We have a $20,000 sign on bonus available for full-time positions! Both CCC-SLP and CF-SLP would be eligible. It is paid out quarterly over three years. You will add this to the wage information listed above and below.

Salaried positions include a protected base pay that is not fluctuating based on clients, cancellations, and caseload. The SLP's base pay does not change, in order to create a reliable income stream for the therapist.

Starting base pay can be higher and will depend on experience in the field and in pediatrics, CF or CCC, and niche areas of expertise such as feeding and AAC. As clinicians grow with HHTS, rate increases are available as well as leadership opportunities and mentorship that include eligible stipends on top of base salary. We have an incentive structure that pays in addition to base salary, making $20,000 in bonuses available to therapists annually on top of base salary (base salary stays the same and is reliable even if clients cancel or no-show).

Our CF positions are $70,000 annually, and our CCC positions begin at $73,500. CF positions have the opportunity to stay on as a full-time CCC SLP at the completion of their mentorship, and will receive a rate increase pending credentialing with our payers.

Full time position benefits include: 
 

• Private medical, vision, and dental options with employer contribution up to $300 a month. Insurance benefits are effective the first day after your 30th day of employment. Up to $300 a month is contributed towards medical enrollments; remaining premiums are deducted via pre-tax deductions.
• Ancillary policies are available, including accident, critical illness, and short- and long-term disability insurance. Coverage levels vary per employee enrollment; options and buy-up plans are available. Voluntary lines of coverage are paid for by the employee, and premiums are deducted from the paycheck.

For full time positions, the schedule is two days of the week will be 9am–6pm, and the remaining three days the therapist may choose 8am–5pm or 9am–6pm, with a dedicated lunch hour each day.

Part time positions may indicate their preferred schedule between the hours of 8am–6pm Monday–Friday. Part time SLPs must have at least 12 hours of treatment on their weekly schedule, and can choose four hour increments or more each day they are on site. We ask that when a therapist establishes a schedule, that schedule stays consistent week to week to provide routine for the clients, families, and our scheduling team. 

No. For salaried positions, all required meetings are built into the standard schedule. 

We offer a base package of 96 hours of PTO a year, accrued per pay period for full-time employees. There are opportunties to earn additional PTO through our peer-rewards redemptions and tenure-based milestones. There is no cap on how many additional hours of PTO a full-time employee may redeem through peer rewards. Every two years, full time employees begin to accrue an additional day of PTO on top of their standard package. Leadership opportunities include up to 120 hours of PTO a year.

PTO rolls over year to year, up to the annual accrual cap.

PTO requests are submitting via our employee management platform, and is approved by a clinic manager. We request all time off requests be submitted at least two weeks in advance, with exception of extenuating circumstances. UTO may be taken on a case by case basis. Accrued PTO must be used before UTO can be taken. There is no established annual cap on UTO. 

We offer 9 paid holidays for full time employees. To be eligible for the paid holiday, the employee must be in a pay status the day before and after the holiday (work the regularly scheduled shift or take pre-approved PTO). 

We do not have productivity requirements. Our base salary is a fixed starting salary, and does not change when there are client cancellations, reschedules, or no shows.
