• Dental and vision
• Full-time school-year position
• Supportive and collaborative school environment

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.
