Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) - Part Time

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

Jackson Dental | Belle Fourche & Sundance, WY
Part-Time | 2–3 Days per Week | Opportunity for Growth

Join Us in Building Something New!

Jackson Dental is excited to expand our whole-health approach to patient care with the development of a new Speech and Development Program!

We are seeking a passionate, forward-thinking Speech-Language Pathologist who is interested in more than a traditional therapy role. This is a unique opportunity to help build a program from the ground up, working alongside dentists, myofunctional therapists, and clinical leadership to provide a collaborative, whole-person approach to speech and developmental care.

We are initially offering this position on a part-time basis, 2–3 days per week, with the potential to expand as the program grows. This opportunity may be ideal for an SLP looking for flexibility, professional growth, and the ability to help shape something meaningful.

Position Overview

Our Speech-Language Pathologist will evaluate and treat patients with speech, language, and oral motor concerns, primarily working with children.

What makes this opportunity different is our commitment to looking beyond the speech or language concern itself. We believe that understanding the whole patient, including airway health, oral function, growth, and development, can help identify contributing factors and create more comprehensive treatment plans.

Our SLP will collaborate closely with our doctors and myofunctional therapists to identify concerns that may benefit from additional evaluation or treatment, including airway issues, tongue posture, occlusion, and orthodontic development.

As a new program, the SLP will also play an important role in developing therapy protocols, selecting assessment tools, establishing patient workflows, and helping shape the future of speech services within Jackson Dental.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform comprehensive speech and language evaluations and develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans.

• Utilize a hybrid approach that blends evidence-based techniques with play and engagement, ensuring each child remains motivated while making measurable progress.

• Collaborate with dentists, myofunctional therapists, and other providers to support comprehensive, whole-person care.

• Recognize potential contributing factors related to airway, oral function, tongue posture, growth, and dental development, coordinating appropriate referrals and evaluations.

• Provide individualized speech and language therapy with an emphasis on patient progress and long-term outcomes.

• Educate and involve parents in the therapy process to encourage progress beyond appointments.

• Maintain accurate clinical documentation and treatment records.

• Work alongside leadership to establish the systems, protocols, and patient experience for a new Speech and Development Program.

• Help identify opportunities for program growth and expanded patient services.

What Makes This Opportunity Different?

• Build Something New: Help create and shape a Speech and Development Program from the ground up, with meaningful input into how services are delivered.

• Collaborative, Whole-Health Care: Work directly with dentists and myofunctional therapists to evaluate the whole patient and coordinate care.

• Clinical Creativity & Autonomy: Develop individualized therapy approaches that combine clinical effectiveness with engaging, enjoyable patient experiences.

• Flexible Part-Time Schedule: Begin with 2–3 days per week, with opportunities to expand as patient demand increases.

• Professional Development: Opportunity for employer-supported myofunctional therapy training and certification.

• Long-Term Growth Potential: As the program develops, opportunities may arise for additional hours, expanded services, or future leadership responsibilities.

Professional Growth & Development

At Jackson Dental, we believe in investing in our team members and supporting their professional goals.

We are especially interested in an SLP who is curious about the relationship between speech, oral function, airway health, and overall development.

We offer the opportunity to pursue myofunctional therapy training and certification with financial support from Jackson Dental, allowing our SLP to expand their clinical knowledge and participate in a truly integrated model of care.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology.

• Active or eligible for South Dakota licensure; Wyoming licensure or eligibility required for services provided in Sundance.

• Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) preferred; Clinical Fellowship candidates considered.

• Passion for working with children and providing individualized, engaging therapy.

• Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.

• Interest in airway health, oral function, and myofunctional therapy.

• Self-motivated, adaptable, and excited about helping develop a new program.

Schedule & Compensation

• Part-time: 2–3 days per week

• Position will serve patients between our Belle Fourche, SD, and Sundance, WY locations.

• Scheduling flexibility based on program development and patient needs.

• Competitive compensation based on experience.

• Potential for additional days and expanded responsibilities as the program grows.

• Professional development and myofunctional therapy training opportunities.
