School-Based Speech Language Pathologist | South Bend, Indiana

Job Description

Job Description

Make a positive impact supporting students across a diverse educational environment near South Bend, IN! This contract opportunity is ideal for a skilled Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP-CCC) or a capable SLPA (for on-site roles) who thrives in school-based settings and is passionate about helping PreK-8th grade students achieve their communication goals.

You'll provide vital speech and language services in one 5th-8th grade building (caseload around 35 students) as well as several private school locations serving Preschool through 8th grade. Caseloads average 40-45 students for virtual, and 65-70 students for on-site. These settings focus largely on traditional speech and language needs; AAC device usage is minimal, with the middle school and private schools not having specialized programs for such devices. Bilingual skills are a plus, though not required; adjustments can be made for the right candidate.

Qualifications:

• Valid SLP-CCC license required for SLP roles; SLPA certification considered for in-person roles
• Experience in school-based or pediatric environments strongly preferred
• Understanding of IEP processes, documentation, and collaboration in educational teams
• Excellent communication, organizational, and adaptability skills
• Comfortable with both virtual and in-person service delivery (SLPAs considered for in-person only)
• Commitment to inclusion and fostering student growth across grade levels

Responsibilities:

• Assess and treat students with speech, language, and communication needs within assigned caseloads
• Develop and implement IEP goals; collaborate with teachers, families, and other team members
• Maintain timely documentation in compliance with school and state guidelines
• Contribute to a supportive, engaging learning environment

Perks include contract flexibility, professional collaboration, and the chance to work in a range of supportive school settings. The school year assignment runs from August 18th to June 7th with a full-time schedule (37.5 hours/week).
