Original job description
An exciting opportunity is available for a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) seeking a rewarding contract position supporting students ranging from 4th grade through age 22. Located near Sarasota, FL, this role focuses on delivering direct and consultative speech services at a specialized education center. The position covers 17.5 hours per week, with flexible scheduling options such as three six-hour days, four four-hour days, or five three-and-a-half-hour days, to best fit your lifestyle.
What You'll Need:
- Active Florida SLP license required
- Previous experience in a school or pediatric setting is highly valued
- Strong communication and collaboration skills
- Compassion for students with diverse and complex needs
- Ability to adapt to a flexible, part-time schedule (with potential for full-time allocation)
- Commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive learning environment
Your Responsibilities:
- Provide direct speech-language therapy to approximately 24 students
- Offer consultative support for an additional 12 students
- Collaborate with classroom aides, behavior specialists, and supportive administrators
- Utilize a dedicated therapy space within a well-resourced school environment
- Participate in orientation and ongoing support provided by experienced SLP colleagues
- Potential to expand to a full-time schedule with additional school assignments, depending on candidate preference
As part of this contract role, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on a small caseload, receive support from a welcoming team, and work in classrooms with low student-to-adult ratios. You will not be responsible for case management, allowing you to focus on delivering high-quality therapy services.
If you are passionate about empowering students and thrive in an encouraging, student-centered school setting, this could be the perfect next step for your career. Apply today to begin making a difference in these students' lives!
