Position Overview

Spotter Staffing is hiring a full-time Speech-Language Pathologist to support approximately 35–40 elementary students (grades 3–5) in a small, community-oriented district.

The caseload includes a mix of self-contained and general education students, providing a well-rounded service model with meaningful collaboration.

What You’ll Be Doing

Daily Responsibilities

• Provide direct speech-language therapy services (individual and small group).

• Implement IEP goals focused on articulation, language, social communication, and pragmatic skills.

• Document session notes and service minutes.

• Collaborate informally with classroom teachers and special education staff.

• Adjust therapy plans based on student progress and needs.

• Support students within both pull-out and push-in service models.

Weekly Responsibilities

• Conduct speech-language evaluations and write evaluation reports.

• Participate in IEP meetings and multidisciplinary team meetings.

• Consult with parents and staff regarding student progress.

• Manage caseload scheduling and service tracking.

• Order or request therapy materials as needed (district currently has grant funding available for resources).

Why This Role Stands Out

• Supportive Leadership: The Special Education Director is a former School Social Worker who understands related services and advocates for appropriate resources.

• Access to Materials: Grant funding allows therapists to purchase necessary tools and therapy materials.

• Collaborative Environment: Staff work closely together and support one another.

• Strong Workplace Culture: Employee reviews consistently highlight work-life balance, positive culture, effective management, and job security.

• Small District Feel: Close-knit community with a team-oriented mindset.

Qualifications

• Active Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) with SLP endorsement.

• CCC-SLP preferred (CF candidates may be considered).

• School-based experience preferred.

• Strong organization, communication, and collaboration skills.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive pay up to $70/hour.

• Predictable full-time schedule (8:00–3:45).

• Administrative support that values related services.

• Opportunity to continue through the 2026–2027 school year.

• Placement support from Spotter Staffing.
