Job Description

About the Role

Make a meaningful difference as a Speech Language Pathologist at SOAR365. In this rewarding, full-time or part-time role, you'll support and educate children and families using a family-centered approach.

This position is ideal for a compassionate professional who is passionate about social equity and clinical excellence. Unlike high-volume clinical settings, our non-profit model prioritizes relationship-based care and allows for longer session times and deep family collaboration. You will serve as both a clinician and an advocate for your clients.

Who We Are: SOAR365

Our innovative programs and compassionate services are thoughtfully designed to meet real-world needs at every stage of life.

Whether through employment, therapy, respite, or recreation, we're proud to help people of all abilities thrive.

Key Responsibilities & Duties

In this role, you will be responsible for providing comprehensive early intervention services by conducting evaluations, clinical consultations, and direct therapeutic care that meet quarterly SOAR365 standards.

Additionally, the therapist must communicate effectively with families and staff to promote organizational goals and actively mentor volunteers and interns as valuable members of the interdisciplinary team.

Requirements & Qualifications
