PROFESSIONAL ENTITY / LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

Because of the professional structure being developed for the Speech Therapy division, the selected Clinical Director may also have the opportunity to participate in the professional ownership and governance structure of the Speech Therapy entity, subject to applicable Texas licensing requirements and final legal structure. The business and administrative infrastructure will be supported separately so the Clinical Director can concentrate primarily on professional leadership and patient care.

Competitive compensation will include clinical leadership responsibilities, with additional opportunities tied to supervision and growth.
