Job Description

Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist — Clinic + Early Intervention

Northern Virginia | Full-Time

At Premier Pediatric Therapy Source (PPTS), we believe pediatric SLPs shouldn't have to choose between the variety of community-based work and the consistency of an outpatient clinic. We're looking for a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist to join our multidisciplinary team in a unique clinic + Early Intervention role. This position combines Early Intervention and community-based services earlier in the day with outpatient pediatric speech therapy at PPTS in the afternoons, giving you the opportunity to work across settings while building a full-time caseload.

Why This Position?

• Two Settings. One Full-Time Caseload.
• Start your day providing Early Intervention and community-based services with young children and families, then transition to PPTS for afternoon outpatient therapy.
• You'll have the variety of community-based work paired with the resources, collaboration, and consistency of an established pediatric clinic.

Start With an Established Caseload:

• You'll step into an established afternoon caseload rather than starting from an empty schedule.
• PPTS has ongoing demand for afternoon speech therapy, giving you the opportunity to make an immediate impact while building toward a sustainable full-time caseload through a combination of clinic-based and Early Intervention services.

Support That Lets You Focus on Therapy:

• You treat. We handle the logistics.
• Our front office and administrative team supports scheduling, family communication, authorizations, and other administrative needs so you can focus on providing great care.
• You'll also have protected time for documentation and planning.

Clinical Judgment & Support:

• We trust our therapists to use their clinical judgment and develop creative, individualized treatment approaches.
• Interested in feeding, AAC, early language, social communication, parent coaching, groups, or another area of pediatric speech?
• We want you to have the opportunity to grow your skills around your interests and the needs of the children and families we serve.

About the Position:

As a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, you will evaluate and treat children from birth through 18 years of age across Early Intervention, community-based, and outpatient settings.

You Will:

• Provide Early Intervention and community-based speech-language services.
• Evaluate and treat children with a variety of communication and developmental needs.
• Develop individualized treatment plans and goals.
• Provide evidence-based, child-centered interventions.
• Educate and coach parents and caregivers.
• Complete documentation within scheduled administrative time.
• Collaborate with SLPs, OTs, PTs, families, physicians, educators, and community providers.
• Participate in interdisciplinary treatment planning and care coordination.
• Contribute to program development and other clinic initiatives.

Schedule & Caseload:

• Full-time position with a schedule designed around morning Early Intervention/community -based services and afternoon outpatient clinic coverage.
• Schedule may be tailored within reason based on candidate availability and the needs of the practice.
• Established afternoon pediatric caseload.
• Full-time caseload target of approximately 35–42 weekly visits when fully built.
• 45-minute appointment blocks with 35-minute treatment sessions in the clinic.
• Protected documentation and planning time.
• Front office support for scheduling and family communication.
• Administrative support for authorizations and billing.

What We're Looking For:

• Current Virginia SLP license or eligibility for licensure.
• ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) or eligibility.
• Master's degree from an accredited Speech-Language Pathology program.

• Early Intervention Certification (Must be obtained prior to start date).

  • Free certification course instructions can be sent to hired candidates for completion (Takes about 17 hours to complete).
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Passion for pediatric therapy and family-centered care.
• Comfortable working independently in the community and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary clinic.
• Creative, flexible, and growth-minded approach.
• Pediatric experience preferred.
• Early Intervention experience is a plus, but not required.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive compensation.
• Annual increase eligibility.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Paid holidays.
• CEU reimbursement.
• 401(k).
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
• Structured mentorship and onboarding.
• Support from a multidisciplinary pediatric therapy team.

Why PPTS?

We're building a pediatric therapy practice where clinicians can provide meaningful care without being defined by a single setting or specialty.

At PPTS, you can build your career across Early Intervention, outpatient pediatrics, and the clinical areas you're most passionate about — with the support of a team that handles the administrative side so you can focus on your patients.

If you're looking for a pediatric SLP role that offers variety, stability, autonomy, and room to grow, we'd love to meet you.
