Job Description

Job Description

Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP)

Location: Irvine, CA
Compensation Potential (Bonus + Salary): $87,111-$108,888

Are you a passionate Speech-Language Pathologist eager to make a lasting impact while advancing your clinical expertise and leadership skills? At Cortica, we offer more than just a job—we provide a clear path to growth through our Clinical Ladder Program, mentorship opportunities, and a collaborative, transdisciplinary approach that redefines pediatric care.

Join a workplace where you're empowered to excel clinically, lead meaningfully, and grow continuously while delivering life-changing, client-centered therapy to children and families.

Why Choose Cortica?

A Career That Grows with You:

  • Clinical Ladder Advancement: Unlock structured career progression with opportunities to grow from Level 1 to Level 4, based on clinical expertise, leadership, and mentorship contributions. Move beyond traditional roles by contributing to our mentorship, training, and clinical program development initiatives while being recognized for your excellence.
  • Mentorship and Leadership: Clinicians at higher Clinical Ladder levels mentor newer SLPs, shaping the next generation of therapists and earning recognition for leadership.
  • Professional Development: A $2,000 CEU stipend annually supports your clinical growth, helping you gain specialized expertise and further refine your skills with neurodivergent children.

A Team That Supports You:

  • Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside neurologists, developmental pediatricians, nurse practitioners, ABA professionals, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and music therapists in a truly integrated care model that reflects the latest research and promotes better outcomes.
  • Low Billable Target, High-Quality Care: With a manageable caseload (22.75 billable hours/week), you'll have the time and flexibility to deliver meaningful, outcome-driven therapy rather than focusing on quantity over quality.
  • Supervision Stipend for SLPAs: Earn up to $700 per month per SLPA under your supervision, rewarding your mentorship efforts.
  • Positive Work Environment: Be part of a highly rated workplace (4.1★ on Glassdoor, 4.1★ on Indeed), where 78% of employees recommend Cortica for its supportive culture and cutting-edge clinical model.

Comprehensive Benefits That Matter:

  • Competitive salary and bonus opportunities.
  • $2,000 annual CEU stipend for ongoing professional development.
  • 401(k) matching to invest in your future.
  • Medical, dental, and vision Insurance (plus pet insurance!).
  • Generous PTO and holidays to ensure work-life balance.
  • License and certification reimbursement.
  • Paid parental leave and wellness support.

Your Role as an SLP at Cortica.

Make an Impact:

  • Provide dynamic, play-based speech and language therapy that integrates sensory, motor, and cognitive strategies.
  • Develop individualized treatment plans that align with a holistic, transdisciplinary approach to care.
  • Educate and empower families, ensuring communication strategies extend beyond therapy sessions into everyday life.
  • Supervise and mentor SLPAs, enhancing your leadership skills and contributing to the development of your field.


Drive Clinical Excellence:

  • Maintain accurate documentation and ensure compliance with state and company policies.
  • Engage in cross-disciplinary consultations with physicians, nurse practitioners, occupational therapists, physical therapists, music therapists, and ABA professionals to create the best outcomes for children.
  • Contribute to Cortica's Clinical Ladder Program, positioning yourself for leadership and professional growth.

Who We're Looking For:

  • Master's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
  • Active SLP licensure in the state(s) where you practice.
  • ASHA CCC-SLP certification (CFs encouraged to apply!).
  • Passion for collaborative, integrative care and working with neurodivergent populations.
  • Strong leadership potential and interest in mentorship and career growth.

About Cortica: Where Clinical Excellence Meets Innovation

Cortica is at the forefront of integrated care for neurodevelopmental differences. Our Clinical Ladder Program empowers therapists to grow within the organization, taking on new challenges in mentorship, training, and clinical leadership.
