Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) in El Cajon, CA

Job Description

Job Description

Step into a rewarding role supporting elementary students as a Speech-Language Pathologist in a vibrant school environment. This full-time, contract opportunity runs through the first semester, with the potential to extend into the second. Work closely with a supportive staff at an elementary site serving children from transitional kindergarten through 5th grade—students who present with mild speech and language needs.

In this position, your primary focus will be delivering direct therapy and monitoring student progress. While there will be some assessments involved, you'll find IEP meetings are limited, allowing you to concentrate on working directly with your students and collecting valuable data.

Compensation for this opportunity ranges from $50 to $65 per hour, based on experience and qualifications.

What will help you succeed:

• Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology or Communicative Disorders
• Current, valid state licensure or eligibility for licensure as an SLP
• Experience in school settings, particularly with elementary-aged children
• Strong clinical skills in speech and language assessment and intervention
• Dedication to accurate data collection and progress monitoring
• Collaborative spirit and excellent communication skills

Key responsibilities include:

• Planning and providing direct speech and language therapy to students
• Collecting ongoing progress data and maintaining detailed documentation
• Conducting assessments for student caseload as needed
• Collaborating with teachers and school support personnel
• Communicating effectively with students, staff, and families

If you’re passionate about making a difference and eager to work in an engaging school setting, this role could be the perfect fit. Apply today to help young learners grow their communication skills and reach their full potential!
