About the School

This is a small, tight-knit school community where staff work closely together to support student success. With new leadership in place, this is an exciting time to join the team and contribute to the district's continued growth.

The school is looking for an SLP who is active, innovative, and creative in their approach to therapy. Rather than relying heavily on pre-packaged programs or worksheets, the ideal clinician will bring engaging, individualized, and functional therapy approaches to the school setting.

Caseload & Student Population

The SLP will primarily support:

• Students in grades 3rd–8th
• Mostly general education students
• Students with mild to moderate communication disorders
• A variety of speech and language needs

The district does not have specialized speech-language programs, making this a great opportunity for a clinician who enjoys creating individualized interventions based on each student's unique needs.

Responsibilities

• Provide direct speech-language therapy services to students in grades 3–8
• Evaluate students and contribute to eligibility determinations
• Develop individualized speech and language goals and treatment plans
• Participate in IEP meetings and collaborate with educational teams
• Monitor student progress and maintain accurate documentation
• Collaborate with teachers, administrators, families, and related service providers
• Create engaging, functional, and individualized therapy activities
• Utilize creative and innovative approaches to address student communication needs
• Contribute ideas and strategies as the district continues developing its programs and services

What They're Looking For

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Is forward-thinking and innovative
• Enjoys creating engaging therapy activities rather than relying on "canned" programs
• Is creative and active in their clinical approach
• Enjoys collaborating with teachers and school teams
• Is excited about the opportunity to grow with a district during a period of transition
• Values working within a small, supportive, and community-oriented school environment

Qualifications

• Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) through ISBE required
• Illinois IDFPR Speech-Language Pathologist license required
• Previous school-based experience preferred
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Creative and student-centered clinical approach

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive salary ranging from $58,000–$70,000
• Comprehensive benefits package available including 401k with matching, free health insurance, free CEUs, classroom stipends, and PTO
• Dental and vision
• Full-time school-year position
• Supportive and collaborative school environment
• Opportunity to help shape speech-language services within a growing district
• Ongoing support and advocacy from the AnthroMed team

Why Join This Opportunity?

This isn't just another school-based SLP position. You'll have the opportunity to grow with a district that is entering an exciting period of transition and development.

You'll be joining a small, close-knit school community where your ideas and clinical perspective can make a real difference. You'll also have the benefit of working alongside an existing AnthroMed clinician in the district, providing an established connection and additional support.

If you're an SLP who is creative, innovative, collaborative, and excited to help shape something meaningful, we'd love to connect with you!
