Speech Language Pathologist Assistant (SLPA)

$25 - $35 per hour

Playful Paths Speech Therapy

Job Description

Job Description

Join a Startup on a Mission

This isn’t just a job. It’s an invitation to help  build something from the ground up . We're a fast-growing mobile therapy startup delivering high-quality, in-home speech-language services to children across Central Florida. Our approach is rooted in  child-led, play-based therapy , and our mission is simple: empower families, elevate care, and create  authentic change — one home visit at a time.

We are looking for pioneers. People who  light up at the idea of improving systems , working with heart, and  being part of something bigger than themselves . If you're energized by  growth freedom , and the satisfaction of doing  meaningful work that lasts , you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Provide  personalized, play-based therapy to pediatric clients (ages birth–18) in their home, daycare, and/or school environments
  • Use your insight and empathy to  support families as partners in progress
  • Think like a builder: contribute to  improving workflows, systems, and operations
  • Take ownership of your caseload and  communicate directly and transparently with our team
  • Develop creative marketing ideas and collaborate to  grow our referral base
  • Be open to helping with  speech-adjacent tasks that support the bigger picture
  • Willing to  learn (or already familiar with)documentation practices
  • Travel locally to client homes within Polk County, exclusively.
  • Compensation will increase with promotions.

Who You Are

  • A licensed  SLPA through the Florida Department of Health (required)
  • Level 2 background check or willingness to complete it.
  • Eager to grow , improve, and actively participate in shaping the way we work
  • Experienced in pediatric settings and confident managing families and progress independently
  • Excited by the pace of startups — you see challenges as opportunities, not roadblocks
  • Skilled (or willing to learn) in  marketing and relationship-building with referral sources
  • Naturally curious, driven, and ready to  learn billing systems , organize workflows, and take the lead when needed
  • Tech-savvy with a personal laptop for documentation
  • Reliable transportation and solid time-management skills

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • Your ideas matter. We’re building this together, and your voice helps shape the future.
  • Freedom & flexibility. We trust you to manage your schedule and own your impact.
  • Support that lifts you. You’ll work with a founder and team who believe in  radical transparency , mentorship, and  real-time feedback .
  • A culture of builders. You’ll never be micromanaged, but you will be encouraged to  solve, speak up, and soar .
  • Paid CEUs & liability insurance
  • Compensation: $25–$35/hr based on experience

A Note on Startups

Startups are not for everyone. They’re fast, imperfect, and full of moments that test your creativity and grit. But if you’re the kind of person who  gets energy from growth , who sees obstacles as stepping stones, and who loves seeing their work directly impact lives — then this will feel like home.

You won’t just do a job here.
You’ll  build a legacy for families who need your skills — and for yourself.
