What are the responsibilities and job description for the Speech Language Pathologist Assistant position at The Creekside School?
The Creekside School is growing, and we’re looking for a passionate and skilled Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) to join our team. This is a unique opportunity to work in a collaborative school setting supporting students on the autism spectrum who are severely to profoundly impacted.
At The School, we focus on building meaningful communication, independence, and social-emotional growth through individualized, relationship-based approaches.
What You’ll Do
Working under the supervision of the SLP, you will provide direct speech-language therapy services aligned with student IEPs while supporting students in developing functional communication, social skills, and independence. You will work with AAC devices and alternative communication systems, collaborate closely with teachers, BCBAs, and classroom teams, and help train staff on communication strategies. This role also includes collecting and tracking student data, adjusting supports as needed, and building strong, engaging relationships with students through child-led interactions.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking candidates who hold a California SLPA License and a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Disorders or a related field. Ideal candidates will have at least two years of experience working with students on the autism spectrum with severe to profound needs, along with hands-on experience supporting non-verbal students using AAC. Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills are essential, as well as the ability to remain calm, flexible, and student-focused in a dynamic classroom environment.
Why Join The Creekside School
The School offers a supportive, team-based environment where collaboration is key. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team dedicated to student-centered, relationship-driven care, with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact every day.
What Makes This Role Unique
Our students require a high level of support across communication, sensory, and behavioral needs. This role is best suited for someone who brings both experience and genuine passion for helping students develop meaningful ways to communicate and connect.
If you’re looking to grow in a purpose-driven environment and be part of a team that truly supports one another, we’d love to connect with you.
