Pediatric SLP or CF – Specialty Preschool & Clinic (Sign-On Bonus!)

About the Role

Southern Maine Speech and Language Services, LLC and Southern Maine Children's Academy, LLC are seeking a full-time Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC or strong CFY candidate) to join our dynamic team in Portland, Maine. Owned and operated by a seasoned SLP, our well-established private practice and adjacent developmental preschool (serving 20+ children) provide a unique, highly collaborative program to students 3-6 years of age. You work side-by-side with an incredible team of OTs, PTs, educators, and educational support staff to provide comprehensive therapy and evaluations under one roof.

Why Our Practice Stands Out

• Generous Sign-On Bonus: Competitive sign-on bonus of $3000.00. The first $1000.00 is paid after 3 months of employment, the next $1000.00 after 6 months of employment, and the remaining $1000.00 is paid at 1 year of employment.
• Extra State Funding: All current SLPs receive an additional monthly MRTQ bonus of $540.00 (minimum $360.00), paid directly through the State of Maine's ongoing program for direct care providers.
• Built-In Mentorship & On-Site CF Supervision: Owned by an SLP, we provide high-quality, hands-on mentorship for Clinical Fellows looking to build a strong foundation.
• Zero Travel: All preschool services are provided right inside our classrooms and clinic—no putting miles on your personal vehicle.

What You Will Do

• Provide high-quality pediatric therapy and evaluations, focusing heavily on our preschool-aged population.
• Collaborate daily with teachers, OTs, PTs, and fellow SLPs to deliver holistic care directly within our preschool classrooms.
• Conduct assessments, write progress notes, create IEP goals, and attend IEP meetings.
• Part-time local school contracts are also available if you prefer a hybrid caseload.

Qualifications

• Master's Degree in Communication Disorders.
• ASHA CCC-SLP or a strong, motivated Clinical Fellowship (CFY) candidate.
• Maine State SLP license (or immediate eligibility to obtain Maine licensure).
• Comfort working directly within classroom settings and collaborating across disciplines.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary tailored to experience.
• Competitive Sign-On Bonus.
• 4 weeks of Paid Time off per year.
• Monthly state MRTQ bonus (currently $540.00/mo for all our SLPs).
• Comprehensive benefits: Medical, Dental, Short-Term Disability, Accident, and Life Insurance.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
