Comments from Informed Jobs staff:
"JoAnne Berns, the owner of this clinic, also works with The Informed SLP as a writer! I've worked with her since 2019, and she's truly a wonderful person. This looks like an excellent opportunity for someone wanting to work only half-days!" – Meredith H.

Description
Our clinician-owned private pediatric practice is seeking to add an SLP to our team for part-time school based therapy. We have two available options:
8 to noon, M–F, 20 hours per week
Perfect for someone who wants to work only mornings, to leave afternoons open for other things.
... or after school 3–5pm, M–R, 8–10 hours per week
Perfect for a school-based SLP who wants to add 8–10 hours/week and earn an extra $500–$650 per week. The scheduling is flexible, with two 4-hour blocks, three 3-hour blocks, or another combination that fits your schedule!
This is a great opportunity for an SLP who wants meaningful work, a manageable caseload, and a voice in shaping their day-to-day practice. You’ll be joining a team that truly “gets it,” founded by therapists, built for therapists, and dedicated to making school-based therapy rewarding and sustainable.

Skills And Competencies
Our ideal SLP is warm, patient, and loves to work with younger children ages 2–5. Someone that kids, teachers, and parents genuinely enjoy working with. You should have a natural sense for connecting with others, reading the room, and communicating with warmth and clarity. Attention to detail and problem-solving ability are key. We can teach you our systems and software, and we’ll support you in using evidence-based treatment approaches. The magic we’re really looking for is you: your kindness, creativity, and ability to make each session fun, engaging, and effective. If you’re the type of clinician who can make a child feel seen, a teacher feel supported, and a parent feel hopeful, you’ll fit right in here!
Required Qualifications

Does the Contract Include a Non-compete or Non-solicitation?
Yes. When the company introduces or assigns an employee to a school, facility, or client site, that placement is considered a company referral and business relationship. To protect these partnerships, employees agree not to seek or accept direct employment or contract work with that school, facility, or any of its students or clients for a period of two (2) years following the last date of assignment through the company, unless written consent is provided by the company. This restriction applies to both direct and indirect arrangements, including but not limited to subcontracting, consulting, or providing services through another organization. The purpose of this policy is to preserve the company’s investment in developing and maintaining school and client relationships.
