Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

Department: School Staffing Division

Reports to: SLP Program Manager

FLSA Status: Non-exempt

Pay Grade: Hourly

Summary of Position

At MJ Care, our mission is simple: support students so they can fully access their education and thrive in the school environment. As a school-based Speech-Language Pathologist, you’ll play an active, hands-on role in supporting students throughout their school day. You’ll provide direct services aligned with students’ IEPs or other support plans, while working closely with teachers, administrators, and fellow service providers to ensure each student receives the support they need to succeed.

This role is embedded within the rhythm of a school—balancing direct student interaction, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and consistent documentation to support student progress and compliance. You’ll participate in team meetings, contribute to planning and progress discussions, and adapt your approach based on individual student needs and the evolving priorities of the school environment. The goal is to support students’ communication skills across educational settings so they can more fully participate academically, socially, and functionally throughout the school day.

At MJ Care, you’re not stepping into this work alone. You’ll be supported by a team that understands school-based services, values clear communication, and prioritizes doing right by both clinicians and the students they serve. We focus on building strong relationships—with our associates and our school partners—so you can focus on what matters most: making a meaningful impact in students’ day-to-day lives.
