About the Role

SchoolHouse Staffing is hiring a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to support students in grades K8 at a partner school in Chicago, IL. This is an in-person, full-time role for a school-based SLP who wants to deliver high-quality therapy, drive student communication outcomes, and play a key part in the school's tiered support system.

You'll manage a caseload of approximately 45 students, delivering IEP and 504 service minutes, leading the speech-language components of every plan, and serving as a member of the school's MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) team. For speech-only students, you'll serve as case manager and author the full IEP. If you want clinical autonomy within a collaborative, student-centered team, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Deliver speech-language therapy services to students in grades K8, providing the IEP and 504 service minutes as written.
• Conduct speech-language evaluations and assessments to determine eligibility and inform goals.
• Write all speech-language components of students' IEPs and 504 plans.
• Serve as case manager and write the entire IEP for speech-only students, including goals, services, and documentation.
• Attend and actively participate in IEP and 504 meetings.
• Develop, implement, and progress-monitor speech-language goals; maintain accurate, compliant documentation.
• Serve as a member of the MTSS team, supporting screening, early intervention, and tiered supports.
• Collaborate closely with teachers, families, and related-service providers to coordinate care.
• Ensure compliance with IDEA, Section 504, and Illinois timelines and requirements.

What You'll Need (Required)

• Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) required.
• Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) endorsement required.
• Knowledge of IEP/504 development, speech-language evaluation, and special education compliance.
• Ability to work in person, full-time (40 hours/week) at a Chicago-area campus.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with students, families, and colleagues.

Nice to Have (Preferred)

• ASHA Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP).
• Prior school-based SLP experience, ideally across K8.
• Experience serving as case manager and writing full IEPs for speech-only students.
• Familiarity with MTSS frameworks and tiered intervention.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.

Why You'll Want to Join Us

• Clinical autonomy to run your caseload and shape student communication outcomes.
• A collaborative, team-based environment, including a seat on the MTSS team.
• The chance to make a direct, lasting difference for students in the community you serve.
• Full-time stability with a clear, defined role and the support to do it well.
