Speech-Language Pathologist - Neuro & Pediatrics
- Location: TheraFit Rehab
- Employment Type: Independent Contractor
- Setting: Clinic-Based (1:1) & Daycare (1:1)
About the Role
Are you an SLP who loves the complexity of adult neuro-rehab but also has a passion for working with children? At TheraFit Rehab, you don’t have to choose.
We are a therapist-owned, interdisciplinary clinic that breaks the corporate mold. We believe in 1:1 treatment for every patient, whether they are a senior recovering from a stroke or a toddler finding their first words. This role offers a dynamic split between our clinic and "on-the-go" therapy at local contracted private schools and daycares, allowing you to treat children in their natural learning environments.
The TheraFit Difference
True 1:1 Care: No group sessions or double-booking. You get the dedicated time needed for high-impact therapy.
Clinical Variety: Treat a diverse caseload ranging from Aphasia and TBI to pediatric developmental delays and feeding.
Mobile Flexibility: Break up your clinic day with visits to local partner schools and daycares. We handle the contracts; you provide the expertise.
Creative Freedom: We encourage "Real Life Therapy." Whether it’s using a student's classroom tools or a neuro patient’s home goals, we empower you to be creative.
Mentorship: Owners are clinicians who are in the building and invested in your success.
Family-First Culture: A supportive, collaborative environment where you are a person, not a productivity stat.
Requirements
Education: Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
Licensure: Active NJ SLP License and ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP).
Experience
- Comfortable and confident with both Neuro (Adult/Adolescent) and Pediatric populations.
- Reliable Transportation: Ability to travel between clinics and locally to contracted schools/daycares.
