About the Role

SchoolHouse Staffing is hiring a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to support students in grades K–8 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.

Develop, implement, and progress-monitor speech-language goals; maintain accurate, compliant documentation.

Ensure compliance with IDEA, Section 504, and Illinois timelines and requirements. What You'll Need (Required) Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL) — required.
