Description
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist — Clinic + Early Intervention
Northern Virginia | Full-Time
At Premier Pediatric Therapy Source (PPTS), we believe pediatric SLPs shouldn't have to choose between the variety of community-based work and the consistency of an outpatient clinic. We're looking for a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist to join our multidisciplinary team in a unique clinic + Early Intervention role. This position combines Early Intervention and community-based services earlier in the day with outpatient pediatric speech therapy at PPTS in the afternoons, giving you the opportunity to work across settings while building a full-time caseload.
Why This Position?
- Two Settings. One Full-Time Caseload.
- Start your day providing Early Intervention and community-based services with young children and families, then transition to PPTS for afternoon outpatient therapy.
- You'll have the variety of community-based work paired with the resources, collaboration, and consistency of an established pediatric clinic.
Start With an Established Caseload:
- You'll step into an established afternoon caseload rather than starting from an empty schedule.
- PPTS has ongoing demand for afternoon speech therapy, giving you the opportunity to make an immediate impact while building toward a sustainable full-time caseload through a combination of clinic-based and Early Intervention services.
Support That Lets You Focus on Therapy:
- You treat. We handle the logistics.
- Our front office and administrative team supports scheduling, family communication, authorizations, and other administrative needs so you can focus on providing great care.
- You'll also have protected time for documentation and planning.
Clinical Judgment & Support:
- We trust our therapists to use their clinical judgment and develop creative, individualized treatment approaches.
- Interested in feeding, AAC, early language, social communication, parent coaching, groups, or another area of pediatric speech?
- We want you to have the opportunity to grow your skills around your interests and the needs of the children and families we serve.
About the Position:
As a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, you will evaluate and treat children from birth through 18 years of age across Early Intervention, community-based, and outpatient settings.
You Will:
- Provide Early Intervention and community-based speech-language services.
- Evaluate and treat children with a variety of communication and developmental needs.
- Develop individualized treatment plans and goals.
- Provide evidence-based, child-centered interventions.
- Educate and coach parents and caregivers.
- Complete documentation within scheduled administrative time.
- Collaborate with SLPs, OTs, PTs, families, physicians, educators, and community providers.
- Participate in interdisciplinary treatment planning and care coordination.
- Contribute to program development and other clinic initiatives.
Schedule & Caseload:
- Full-time position with a schedule designed around morning Early Intervention/community-based services and afternoon outpatient clinic coverage.
- Schedule may be tailored within reason based on candidate availability and the needs of the practice.
- Established afternoon pediatric caseload.
- Full-time caseload target of approximately 35–42 weekly visits when fully built.
- 45-minute appointment blocks with 35-minute treatment sessions in the clinic.
- Protected documentation and planning time.
- Front office support for scheduling and family communication.
- Administrative support for authorizations and billing.
What We're Looking For:
- Current Virginia SLP license or eligibility for licensure.
- ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) or eligibility.
- Master's degree from an accredited Speech-Language Pathology program.
- Early Intervention Certification (Must be obtained prior to start date).
- Free certification course instructions can be sent to hired candidates for completion (Takes about 17 hours to complete).
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Passion for pediatric therapy and family-centered care.
- Comfortable working independently in the community and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary clinic.
- Creative, flexible, and growth-minded approach.
- Pediatric experience preferred.
- Early Intervention experience is a plus, but not required.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Competitive compensation.
- Annual increase eligibility.
- Health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Paid time off.
- Paid holidays.
- CEU reimbursement.
- 401(k).
- Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
- Structured mentorship and onboarding.
- Support from a multidisciplinary pediatric therapy team.
