What are the responsibilities and job description for the Speech-Language Pathologist Or Occupational Therapist position at Sophos Speech and Academics?
About Us
Sophos is a growing pediatric practice providing speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, academic tutoring, and executive functioning support across clinic, school, and home settings in Phoenix. We're proud of how our team collaborates to support the whole child and their family. As we grow, we're looking for a talented SLP who wants to grow with us.
About the Role
We're hiring a Speech-Language Pathologist for a growth-oriented role. You'll build your own pediatric caseload — primarily clinic-based, with a consistent weekly block of school-based pull-out sessions at one local private school (typically 1–2 days per week), and the possibility of occasional in-home sessions within a close radius of the clinic.
This role includes a clear path toward supervising 1–2 Speech-Language Pathology Assistants (SLPAs), giving you a leadership voice in how your caseload and team take shape as we grow.
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, with a minimum of 2 years working as a full-time SLP
- Current AZ state licensure (or eligibility)
- Strong clinical judgment and confidence adapting treatment plans in real time
- Excellent rapport-building skills with children and families
- Comfortable balancing clinic-based and school-based work on a consistent weekly schedule
Preferred:
- Experience supervising SLPAs, clinical fellows, or graduate students
- Comfort with occasional in-home sessions
Why You'll Love It Here
- Real growth path: Build your own caseload across clinic and school settings, then move into a leadership role supervising 1–2 SLPAs, with more time for evaluations, mentorship, and shaping the team as we grow.
- A predictable schedule: Most weeks include one school-based day, not multiple settings and transitions. We've built this role around a sustainable rhythm, not constant switching.
- Paid time off: 5 days of PTO per year, plus 3 paid holidays
- Collaborative, multi-disciplinary team: Work alongside other SLPs, academic tutors, teachers, and OTs who coordinate care.
- Clients come first: Caseload decisions are driven by what's right for kids and families.
- $1,000/year stipend for CEUs or licensure renewal.
- $150/month stipend toward insurance or mileage.
- Competitive compensation and paid indirect/admin time: $65-70/hour, based on experience.
Schedule and Location
- This is a W-2 hourly position, Monday–Friday. Our clinic is located near Tatum and Shea at 11250 N Tatum Blvd, Suite 104, Phoenix, AZ 85028. Therapy is provided in person; reports and documentation may be completed remotely.
