Job Description

Parallel is hiring a Kentucky-licensed Speech-Language Pathologist for a 17.5-hour-per-week remote assignment with a Kentucky school district partner. The role covers direct speech therapy for an elementary caseload, starts in November 2026, and runs through the end of the school year (May 2027).

Are you a dedicated clinician driven to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children with learning differences? Join a team where providers are treated as part of the school community, not as a stopgap, and help students build the communication skills they need to thrive.
