About the Position

Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP) | South Chicagoland Area | Hybrid School & Clinic | 4-Day Work Week | $5,000 Sign-On Bonus

Make a Bigger Impact Without Sacrificing Your Balance

PediaStaff is partnering with a growing pediatric therapy organization to identify a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP) for a unique hybrid opportunity serving children across both school and clinic settings in the South Chicagoland area .

The best speech therapy doesn't always happen in one place. Some children thrive with support in the classroom where communication challenges naturally occur. Others benefit from focused, one-on-one therapy sessions in a clinic setting. Many need both.

This organization has built its service model around that reality, giving therapists the flexibility to support children across multiple environments while maintaining continuity of care and meaningful therapeutic relationships.

And here's the best part: a full-time 4x10 schedule , allowing you to enjoy three days each week to recharge, spend time with family, pursue personal interests, or simply enjoy a better work-life balance.

Plus, qualified candidates are eligible for a $5,000 sign-on bonus.
