Speech Language Pathologist

Position

Now Hiring:
Pediatric Speech‑Language Pathologist (1099 Contractor)

Full‑time school‑based maternity leave coverage with opportunity to grow private practice caseload once maternity leave ends (not required).

Pay: $65–$70/hour based on experience.

Word Play Speech Therapy is looking for a neuro‑affirming pediatric SLP to join our team as an independent contractor to cover a maternity leave (two positions available – elementary and middle/jr. high). Experience in schools, AAC, social‑skills, language delay, and speech sound disorders is required. A Missouri license is required. No case management of IEPs is expected.

Once the maternity leave coverage ends, the position offers the opportunity to grow into a private practice caseload if desired by the applicant.

If you’re passionate about child‑led therapy, building meaningful relationships with families, and supporting communication in a neurodiversity‑affirming way, we’d love to hear from you!

Contractors will be responsible for providing proof of licensure, as well as general and professional liability insurance.
